Iranian missile attack: UK must stand up for Israel's security 

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Commenting on the Iranian missile attack on Israel last night, the Leader of the Liberal Democrats Ed Davey said:

"We utterly condemn Iran’s attack on Israel. This is a dangerous escalation in a conflict that has already caused far too much death and suffering.

"The UK must work with the international community to stand up for Israel’s security and the security of our other partners in the region.

"We must prevent further escalation and remain focused on finally achieving a lasting peace, so that Israeli and Palestinian children – both – can grow up free of the horrifying cycle of violence that has endured for so long."
