The Foreign Secretary met with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on March 21 in London and made clear the need to avoid actions which escalate tensions and violence.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 17/04/2023 08:46:47 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
