Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome the foreign affairs minister back from his mission abroad and congratulate him on his efforts.
While in the Middle East last week the minister refused to condemn Hamas or Islamic Jihad for their terrorist activities or their attacks on civilians. Terrorism is a daily reality for the people of Israel. Sadly, last Sunday two students were killed and dozens of others were injured in another terrorist attack. Since then, both groups have claimed credit.
Will the minister now condemn Hamas and Islamic Jihad?
