Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to assist with rebuilding destroyed or damaged areas in Israel/Gaza when the conflict there ends; and what assistance the UK will provide in training citizens in those affected countries to enable them to lead in all work of reconstruction.

We are calling for an immediate stop in fighting to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life.

We recognise that we must work with our allies to provide serious, practical and enduring support needed to bolster the Palestinian Authority. We already provide technical and practical support and are ready to do more.

We have regular discussions with Israeli counterparts on all aspects of the conflict.
