Charles Tannock (ECR). - Mr President, I would just like the House to recognise the presence in the gallery of Noam Shalit, the father of Staff Sergeant Gilad Shalit, a dual Israeli-EU citizen cruelly held in detention for more than three years incommunicado by Hamas in Gaza. We in this House all hope that Noam’s campaign for his son will be successful and that he will be released shortly.
