Ian Austin – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ian Austin on 2015-02-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of progress in the demilitarisation of Gaza.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

We have not made a formal assessment of demilitarisation of Gaza.

We have been clear that we believe that a durable ceasefire agreement should ensure that: Hamas and other militant groups permanently end rocket fire and other attacks against Israel and that all terrorist groups in Gaza should disarm.
