Israel: Lebanon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what diplomatic steps he is taking to help prevent the deterioration of the situation in southern Lebanon.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
The UK has made clear that all sides must maintain a cessation of hostilities and work towards securing a lasting peace. That is the only way to ensure security and stability for the people living on either side of the border. The UK continues to engage Israel and Lebanon to urge them to build on the progress made and implement fully the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
