Israel: Hamas
Asked by: Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 9th April 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government what further steps they will take, along with international partners, to secure a ceasefire in the Israel–Hamas war. Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The Government has long been calling for an immediate pause to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life. The UK welcomed the UN Security Council Resolution 2728 on 25 March, which reflects international consensus behind the UK's position. Vital elements for a lasting peace include:
The Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister have reiterated these messages in their contacts with Prime Minister Netanyahu and other senior Israeli political leaders, as well as leaders in Qatar, Jordan, Oman, Saudi Arabia Lebanon, Egypt, and the UAE in recent weeks. |
Alaa Abdel Fattah
Asked by: Caroline Lucas (Green Party - Brighton, Pavilion) Thursday 4th April 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether his Department has taken recent steps to help secure the release of Alaa Abdel Fattah in Egypt. Answered by David Rutley - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) Ministers and officials continue to raise Mr Alaa Abd El-Fattah's case at the highest levels with the Egyptian government. They have been consistently clear in calling for his release and continue to press for urgent consular access, utilising a variety of mechanisms, including through public and private engagement. The Foreign Secretary raised this case with Egyptian Foreign Minister Shoukry on 22 February. As Minister of State for the Middle East, Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon raised this case with Foreign Minister Shoukry on 28 March and with the Egyptian Ambassador on 20 February. Both Lord Ahmad and the Foreign Secretary discussed Mr El-Fattah with FM Shoukry and President Sisi in December 2023. The Prime Minister also spoke to President Sisi about Mr El-Fattah on 1 December 2023. |
Gaza: Refugees
Asked by: Lord Swire (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 4th April 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have had discussions with (1) the European Union, or (2) the government of Egypt, about receiving Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) The Government firmly rejects any suggestion of the resettlement of Palestinians outside of Gaza. The UK's position is clear: Gaza is Occupied Palestinian Territory and will and must be part of a future Palestinian state. We support a two-state solution that guarantees security and stability for both the Israeli and Palestinian people. This is the only viable option to ensure peace. |
