§ Mr. Waldegrave
We aim to encourage a dialogue between Israel and representative Palestinians as the first step towards a comprehensive settlement of the Arab-Israel dispute. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs discussed the peace process with King Hussein last month and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs had a useful meeting with Mr. Bassam Abu Sharif on 1 March. We look forward to the formation of a new Israeli Government able to carry the process forward. We continue, in the meantime, to work for the improvement of conditions in the occupied territories.
