Israel: Hamas

Question

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he has made an assessment of the implications for his policies of the debate entitled Recent developments in the Middle East: Hamas’ terrorist attack on Israel and Israel’s response at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on 23 January 2024.

Answer

Israel suffered the worst terror attack in its history at the hands of Hamas. Palestinian civilians are facing a devastating and growing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. We want the fighting to stop now. We are calling for an immediate pause to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life.
