We strongly condemn all acts of terrorism and call upon Hamas and other terrorist groups to permanently end their incitement and rocket fire against Israel. We are also aware that Israeli restrictions severely restrict the movement of medical professionals and patients in Gaza, hampering the provision of quality health services. Our Embassy to Israel regularly raises the matter of medical permits with the Israeli authorities.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 14/03/2019 17:30:54 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

As Mr Regeni was an Italian citizen, the Italian Government is taking the lead role on his case. We are aware of allegations that the Egyptian security forces were responsible for the murder of Mr Regeni and we urge the Egyptian authorities to consider every possible scenario as they investigate. We have consistently raised our concerns and need for a full and impartial investigation into the circumstances of Mr Regeni's murder with the Egyptian authorities at Ministerial and official levels. We continue to offer our support to Italy and urge the Egyptian Government to cooperate fully with the Italian investigators in order to bring Mr Regeni's killers to justice as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/12/2018 16:08:30 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
