Situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Statement

The following Statement was made in the House of Commons on Monday 29 January.

“With permission, I will update the House on the situation in Israel and Gaza.

Last week, my noble friend the Foreign Secretary visited the region as part of sustained British efforts to end the fighting and build towards a lasting solution. This statement will also cover the International Court of Justice’s decision on provisional measures, and the appalling allegations against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. As we debate these events, I know the whole House shares my horror at the heart-wrenching impact of this conflict.
