The former deputy leader of the Ulster Unionist Party John Taylor, has described the conflict in Gaza as one of the worst tragedies playing out in the world today. Lord Kilclooney said: It is the slaughter of the innocents in Gaza. It is dreadful what Israel is doing. He also called on Palestinian militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza, to recognise Israels right to exist. Some 1,060 Palestinians and 46 Israelis have died in recent hostilities. Most of those killed in Gaza are civilians, Palestinian health officials say, while 43 soldiers and three civilians have died on the Israeli side. Speaking to BBC Radio Ulsters Sunday Sequence programme, the former MP said: There are two problems in that part of the world. One is that Hamas refuses to recognise the right of Israel is exist. The other is, and Ive seen it with my own eyes, that Israel is planning Jewish settlements illegally in land that it is seizing from Palestinian families.
