Julian Huppert – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julian Huppert on 2014-06-11.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential effects on the Middle East Peace Process of the new unity Palestinian government.

Mr William Hague

I welcome the formation of the new interim technocratic government for the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Reuniting Gaza and the West Bank under a government committed to the Quartet Principles is a necessary condition for resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict. We now look to this government to demonstrate commitment through its actions as well words.
