Gaza
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will seek an early meeting of the Middle East quartet to discuss possible war crimes committed against civilians in the recent military action in Gaza; and, if so, what follow up action will be needed.
- Answer
-
As my right honourable friend the Foreign Secretary told the House of Commons on 19 January 2009 (Official Report, col. 501), "““those allegations must be closely and speedily investigated. Obviously, the three key parties to that investigation are the UN, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the Government of Israel, and we are in touch with all of them””."
