HL Deb 26 March 1996 vol 570 c123WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Israeli Officer charged with countering and pursuing terrorism has been given a "free hand" (a) only in Israel proper, or (b) only in Israel and the occupied and ex-occupied territories, or (c) anywhere at all (that is, not excluding Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and the Gulf States), and if the last, whether this approach to terrorism was discussed and explicitly approved at the Sharm-el-Sheikh meeting.

Lord Chesham

Israel's counter-terrorist policy was not discussed at Sharm El-Sheikh. We encourage Israel to combat the terrorists in the fullest possible co-operation with the Palestinian Authority and her neighbours.
