Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, pursuant to the Answer of 18 November 2020 to Question 113686 on Turkey: Hamas, what representations he has made to his Turkish counterpart on that matter.
The Foreign Secretary has not raised this matter with his Turkish counterpart. The UK's position on Hamas is clear, and Turkey is well aware of this position. Hamas' failure to renounce violence and recognise Israel remains a significant barrier to peace. We continue to call upon Hamas to end permanently their incitement and indiscriminate attacks against Israel.
