UNA-UK Chair Lord Hannay has written to Foreign Secretary David Miliband encouraging the government to step up efforts to revive a comprehensive Middle East Peace process.

In the letter, which can be viewed here, Lord Hannay says, "For far too long now the region has suffered from the lack of any serious international attempt to address the core problems of the conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbours; and last summer, in Lebanon and Gaza, we saw the consequences of that neglect. It is encouraging, therefore, that the government is giving a high priority to the new initiatives under discussion."
