>> Mark Pritchard, the MP for The Wrekin since 2005, noted that over twenty years as a parliamentarian he had supported Israel “pretty much at all costs.”

>> “But today, I want to say that I got it wrong and I condemn Israel for what it is doing to the Palestinian people in Gaza and indeed in the West Bank, and I’d like to withdraw my support right now for the actions of Israel, what they are doing right now in Gaza…

>> “Can the minister stand up to our friends and allies in the United States and make a strong stand for humanity? ...”

>> The minister on duty commended Pritchard for his “very powerful intervention”, adding: “I hear his words and I feel their force”.
