Palestinian children killed in an Israeli air- strike. The Israeli

recent assault on Gaza. The call for Palestinian freedom has never
been louder, but this Conservative Government are complicit in its
denial. They have approved more than £400 million in arms to Israel
since 2015, so can the Prime Minister look me in the eye and tell
me that British-made weapons or components were not used in the war
crimes that killed these three children and hundreds of other
Palestinians? [Interruption.]
Mr Speaker
Order. I remind hon. Members that we should not use
props.
The Prime Minister: I think that the whole House
understands that nobody wants to see any more of the appalling
conflict in Israel and Gaza, and that we are all glad that there is
now a ceasefire and a de-escalation. As for the position of the
British Government, it is probably common ground among most Members
that we want a two-state solution. The UK Government have
campaigned for that for many years and it continues to be our
position.
