The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) has had numerous bilateral contacts with the Israelis, Palestinians, US and other international partners on the Gaza conflict in recent weeks, including during visits to Egypt, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. He has also attended multilateral events such as the EU Foreign Affairs Council on 15 August. He has given press interviews and issued many statements on developments. On each occasion he has made the UK's position on the Gaza conflict clear.
