"Mr President, this is a very serious situation, as we all know, and of course, we all want a fair resolution for both sides, and this can only be done through serious international diplomacy. I would suggest national diplomacy, but I do hope that everyone’s diplomacy works.
This is far too serious. It is too serious as well for gesture politics, and yet everywhere I go, at home and here, I see those on the Left making gesture politics: queuing up to expose their bleeding heart about this, and then not having the courage to take questions on the issue when someone wants to discuss it with them. Back in Dudley, where I come from, the Labour group is trying to make a motion to ban the purchase of goods from Israel – another absurd gesture. You cannot do these things; this is far too serious. Have some grown-up political thought for once, and allow the diplomats to do what is required. These are people’s lives and not just your gestures."@en1
