Since the beginning of the Israeli intervention in the Gaza Strip, London defended Israel’s right to self-defense, calling for a “proportionate” response.

Sayeeda Warsi, of Pakistani origin, was appointed Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Secretary of State for Faith and Communities in September 2012. She was responsible with the problems on Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Central Asia, human rights, the U.N., international organizations and the International Criminal Court, states the Government’s website.

Warsi also dealt with matters concerning the Foreign Office of the House of Lords.
