Beckett resists pressure

On Thursday, Mrs Beckett repeatedly resisted pressure from MPs for her to condemn Israel's actions.

Ex-Labour Foreign Office Minister Chris Mullin asked her if it wasn't "a tiny bit shameful that we can find nothing stronger than the word regret to describe the slaughter and misery and mayhem that Israel has unleashed on a fragile country like Lebanon". BBC News | 21st July 2006
