Iran: Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with international partners on Iran’s financial and technical support for the Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as terror groups in Gaza.
- Answer
-
We have long been clear about our concern over Iran's continued destabilising activity throughout the region including its political, financial and military support to a number of militant and proscribed groups. Hamas' military wing has been proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the UK since 2001. The UK maintains a no contact policy with the group in its entirety.
