§ Mr. FatchettEfforts to establish the fate of missing Israeli service men have been hindered by the lack of information about which organisations are holding them.
Nevertheless, we support all efforts to obtain information on their fate. This message was underlined when I took part in a satellite link-up with members of the Knesset in May to mark Ron Arad's birthday. I also raised the case when I visited Syria later that month.
We shall continue to raise the cases of these service men whenever the opportunity arises.
