Israel: International Humanitarian Law
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will publish his Department's legal advice on Israel's compliance with international humanitarian law.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
The Foreign Secretary has committed to being transparent when making decisions on IHL assessments. As soon as the Foreign Secretary took office, he commissioned new advice on Israel's compliance with IHL, in the context of the war in Gaza. This decision on IHL, and the Government's decision on the related issue of arms exports, will be made public when the process is complete.
