00:00I think the rhetoric we saw on stage at Blastonbury was a disgrace and it doesn't help anyone.

00:06It certainly doesn't help the just Palestinian cause.

00:10And that's why this government is not only talking to the BBC about how it was that these comments were broadcast.

00:17Most importantly of all, we're working to end this conflict, end the violence, secure the release of the hostages.
