I have personally challenged Israel over conduct in Gaza, says David Cameron

I thank the noble Lord but surely a pause in fighting is not enough we need a permanent ceasefire now but very specifically I’m sure the noble Lord is aware of the awful fate of six-year-old hin rajab calling for help in the midst of the bodies of her dead relatives who

Appears to have died with two red presentant would be Rescuers has the government or will the government demand answers from the Israeli government about what happened to Hind and her family and The Rescuers and is the government challenging the Israeli government at risks to hundreds of

Thousands of children in Rafa now in the path of the Israeli offensive surely it’s time to stop all armed shipments to Israel as an uh Dutch court has demanded that that state do and Implement targeted sanctions against members of the Israeli leadership particularly those calling for new settlements in

Gaza and on the West Bank here here um well thank Noble um lady asked a number of questions there first of all the case she raises is completely tragic and what is happening in Gaza is tragic we want to see an end to this suffering and end

To this killing let me just make this point that the Poes we’re calling for we want to turn into a ceasefire by making sure the position the the conditions are right for getting a stop in the fighting to mean a permanent ceasefire the way you do that is while fulfilling a number

Of conditions you’ve got to get in our view the Hamas leaders out of Gaza otherwise any ceasefire won’t last because the problem will still be there you’ve got to dismantle the operation of terrorist attacks you’ve got to have a new Palestinian Authority government in place you’ve got to give the pal

Palestinian people a political Horizon to a better future and a two-state solution and crucially you’ve got to release all of the hostages and do that very uh quickly she asked whether we challenge uh the Israel government over individual episodes yes we absolutely do I’ve done that personally with them over

For instance a building that was bombed at had UK Medics and other charities in and we’ll continue to do that as part of the very important process that we go through to judge whether they are in compliance with International humanitarian law

David Cameron said he has ‘personally’ challenged the Israeli government over the conduct of its assault on Gaza during questions in the House of Lords. The foreign secretary told members of the upper chamber: ‘I’ve done that personally with them over, for instance, a building that was bombed that had UK medics and other charities in, and we will continue to do that as part of the very important process that we go through to judge whether they are in compliance with international humanitarian law’.
