Gaza: Israel
- Question
-
To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of Government legal advice on his policies in the context of Israel’s proposed military operations in Rafah.
- Answer
-
We are clear that we would not support a major operation in Rafah unless there is a very clear plan for how to protect people and save lives. We have not seen that plan so, in these circumstances, we would not support a major operation in Rafah.
