Mr Hague
The hon. Lady will appreciate that we do not at the moment have enough detailed information to be able to assess that ourselves. Those accusations are made against Israel. Equally, as I have mentioned, Israelis allege that Hamas stations military headquarters, facilities or weapons in the proximity of civilian infrastructure and homes. Accusations are made on both sides and we cannot conclusively distinguish between them, which is why we must concentrate on what I have set out.
Sir Bob Russell (Colchester) (LD)
Will the Foreign Secretary confirm that the actions of Israeli political and military leaders constitute war crimes?
