7. Gordon Brown adresses Israeli parliament 

July 22, 2008

Gordon Brown's become the first British Prime Minister to address the Israeli parliament.

Yesterday he upset Ehud Olmert by criticising settlements in Palestinian territories.

But now he's told the Knesset (pron. Kur-ness-et) how the two countries can work together.

Paul Calvert is a church worker based in Israel.

He tells Premier he hopes Brown's comments amount to more than just words.
