"The Daily Telegraph" said that her resignation was a blow to the Prime Minister David Cameron as it highlights divisions within Conservative MPs about criticising Israel for the high levels of civilian deaths in Gaza. Her resignation letter praised ministers that had lost their positions in the recent Cabinet reshuffle: William Hague whom she called "one of the finest Foreign Secretaries this country has seen", and Ken Clarke and Dominic Grieve as strong upholders of international law. She expressed concern about the way recent decisions were made in the Foreign Office.
