Gaza: Human Rights
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will take steps to help protect the rights of residents in Gaza.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
Gaza lies in ruins, and it is crucial we move through the phases of the current ceasefire agreement to the reconstruction of Gaza. That is the guarantee that there is a future for Palestinians in their home. We've always been clear in our belief that we must see two states. We must see Palestinians able to live and prosper in their homelands. We oppose moving Palestinians in Gaza to neighbouring Arab states against their will. There must be no forced displacement of Palestinians, nor any reduction in the territory of the Gaza strip. Palestinian civilians should be able to return to and rebuild their homes and their lives.
