Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he has had recent discussions with his Israeli counterpart on Israel's obligations under the Genocide Convention including the duties in relation to incitement in the context of the war in Gaza.

UK ministers, including the Prime Minister and the Foreign Secretary, maintain a regular dialogue with Israeli counterparts on a range of issues relating to the conflict including adherence to International Humanitarian Law. The Government continues to press Israel on the need to ensure its campaign is targeted against Hamas fighters and military objectives and its actions are in-line with IHL. The Government has also made clear that the Israeli Government must investigate war crimes allegedly committed by their nationals or armed forces.
