Hamas: Training
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he (a) has taken and (b) plans to take at the United Nations on the training by Iran of (i) Hamas and (ii) Islamic Jihad; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
The UK has serious concerns about Iran's role in the region, including its support to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. We have repeatedly raised these issues with the Government of Iran at a senior level and will continue to do so. Continuation of this type of behaviour will only lead to increased isolation for the Iranian regime and greater economic difficulty for the Iranian people.We have not taken any action at the UN.
