I hope we will do so. As the Deputy is aware, I formerly held a UN human rights fellowship. I take a particular interest in this matter. One of the saddest aspects of what is happening in the Middle East is that Israel, which should know more than any other nation about affronts to human dignity, has become mired in this situation. Unless both sides decide to respect human dignity and the rule of international law, a solution will not be found in respect of this particularly troubled region.
