Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether international humanitarian law is being respected in the war in Gaza.


This question was answered on 25th January 2024

Israel has endured the worst terrorist attack in its history at the hands of Hamas. We support Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas terrorism , but it must comply with International Humanitarian Law (IHL). We keep under continuous review whether they are abiding by their obligations. We continue to call for IHL to be respected and civilians to be protected. We want to see Israel take greater care to limit its operations to military targets and avoid harming civilians and destroying homes.
