Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions she has had with her international counterparts on the compliance of Israeli strikes on Lebanon on 8 April 2026 with the laws of war.

The UK has, along with 18 other countries, condemned Israel's strikes on Lebanon, as well as the attacks of Hizballah against Israel. I have discussed the situation in Lebanon directly with my Israeli and other international counterparts, including to call for civilians and civilian infrastructure to be protected in accordance with international humanitarian law. As part of longstanding convention, we do not comment on military operational details.
