To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they intend to take internationally to require Israel to lift the blockade of Gaza.
This question was answered on 18th August 2014
In order to secure a lasting ceasefire, it will be vital to address the underlying causes of the conflict, including easing access restrictions to open up the economy of Gaza, whilst addressing Israel’s legitimate security concerns. There cannot simply be a return to the status quo ante. The UK will work with international partners, including the EU and the UN, to support this goal.
