Israel: Armed Conflict

Asked by Mr Andrew SnowdenConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 15 November 2024UIN 12745

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, following the Chancellor's commitment of £3 billion a year for the Ukraine war effort, what similar commitment does this budget make for our continued support of Israel's war effort.

Answered by Luke Pollard

A resolution to this conflict has been a priority since day one of this Government. An immediate ceasefire is just the first step towards a lasting solution to the crisis. The UK continues to fund our operational presence in Middle East to support regional stability as we push for a long-term political solution that includes the implementation of a two-state solution.
