On 1 September the EU decided that meetings with Russia about a new partnership agreement would be postponed, which I welcome. Should the same approach not be implemented if the Minister believes, as he has said, that there is collective punishment in Gaza at the moment? The EU-Israel Euro-Mediterranean Association Agreement should be suspended as a means of making progress and forcing Israel to respond.
