answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>We are concerned by the recent escalation in Gaza, including indiscriminate rocket fire which places civilians at risk. We call upon Hamas and other terrorist groups to permanently end their attacks against Israel. Indiscriminate attacks against civilians are unacceptable and unjustifiable. The perpetual cycle of violence does not serve anyone's interests, and must end. We urge all parties to adhere to the recent ceasefire arrangement.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 03/03/2020 14:22:11 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned about the situation in Idlib, North West Syria, as a result of the ongoing offensive by the Syrian regime and Russia. We are calling on all parties to adhere to previously agreed ceasefires and abide by their obligations under International Humanitarian Law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions, particularly UN Security Council resolution 2254, which calls for a nationwide ceasefire as part of a political process to end the conflict. We have repeatedly raised the issue at the UN Security Council, and called an emergency session on Idlib on 6 February.</p><p>In financial year 2019/20, the Department for International Development allocated £118 million to projects implemented by organisations delivering aid cross-border primarily into North West Syria, including Idlib. This support has helped to provide hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people with food, clean water, shelter and healthcare, including mental health support. UK aid is helping to support protection of civilians in Idlib, including an early warning system to alert civilians of airstrikes and support to emergency search and rescue teams.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 03/03/2020 14:16:08 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>We continue to monitor the cases of Mohammed Ramadhan and Hussain Moosa as their case is taken to the Court of Cassation for final review. We have raised both cases at senior levels with the Government of Bahrain, and will continue to do so where we have concerns. As the former Minister for the Middle East and North Africa publicly stated, we are deeply concerned that the death penalty has been issued to Mohammed Ramadhan and Hussain Moosa. The Government of Bahrain is fully aware that the UK is firmly opposed to the death penalty, in all circumstances.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 03/03/2020 14:24:23 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2020 answer text <p>The UK operates a rigorous and comprehensive export control regime. We will not issue any export licences when there is a clear risk of a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law. We consider a wide range of sources when assessing arms licenses against the Consolidated Criteria, including classified and open source information, and reporting we receive from Non-Governmental Organisations. This includes reports by the UN Panel of Experts, which issues an Annual Report and a Mid-Term Report. The UK receives these as a member of the Security Council and they have been included in our export licensing decision making process.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 03/03/2020 14:01:34 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
