House of Commons Hansard 14th December 2005
Prime Minister's
Questions
Mr. Sadiq Khan (Tooting)
(Lab): Will my right hon. Friend tell the House about the
progress that we have made in the middle east peace process
during the UK's presidency of the EU?
The Prime Minister: It is
worth pointing out that, as a result of the EU's engagement
with the Quartet—Russia, America, the UN and the EU—we will
have the first proper elections to the Palestinian
Authority. They will be followed by elections in Israel, and
we have also had the disengagement from Gaza and parts of
the west bank. If the two elections in the Palestinian
Authority and Israel go well, there is every chance that we
will make a significant breakthrough on the middle east. I
certainly hope that we can.
