Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they are having with allies, including the United States of America, to ensure that violence perpetrated by Hamas in Gaza does not spread; what steps they are taking with allies to prevent the spread of that violence; and what assessment they have made of how the assertion of control by Hamas aligns with the ceasefire agreement.

I refer the Noble Lord to the answer given on 21 October to question HL10148.
