HL Deb 11 January 2005 vol 668 c32WA
Lord Dykes

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are confident that the new coalition administration in the Knesset will be able to conclude a full agreement with the Palestinian Authority to ensure complete sovereignty in the latter's territories. [HL557]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

It is not for us to comment on Israeli internal politics. However, a coalition able to govern effectively is in everyone's interests. All final status issues must be agreed in negotiations between the two parties.
