Gaza: Israel

Asked by Andy McDonaldLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 31 July 2024UIN 1278

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his oral contribution of 19 July 2024, Official Report, column 307, if he will publish all assessments made by the Government on whether international law has been breached in Gaza since 7 October 2023 before the Summer recess.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

As the Foreign Secretary has made clear, he is not able to look back on advice made available to previous Government Ministers. That review process is underway. It is complex and requires careful consideration. The Foreign Secretary has committed to being transparent when making decisions on International Humanitarian Law assessments.
