Ed Miliband
I absolutely concur with my hon. Friend. She speaks very eloquently about this.
Colum Eastwood (Foyle) (SDLP)
May I commend the Foreign Secretary for making what I think is the most powerful, principled and important speech by any British Minister for many years on the issue of Palestine? The people of Derry understand well that it is in the moments of greatest despair that those who are committed to hope come to the fore. Will he continue to travel in hope, to hold together the coalition he has built and to do everything he possibly can to bring peace to the people of Palestine and Israel?
Ed Miliband
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. This is just the beginning of what we must do in this endeavour, and there is so much more to do.
