	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2015 answer text We see merit in a balanced UN Security Council resolution at the right moment, setting out parameters for a political settlement. Any resolution must command the full support of the Security Council. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), has regular discussions with his French counterpart on the Middle East peace process. We will judge any proposal on the basis of whether it supports further progress in that process. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/06/2015 13:44:44 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government (1) what assessment they have made of the government of Israel’s changing policy towards Hamas, and (2) what support they will give to Hamas in policing the Salafist jihadist movement and ISIS in Gaza.
	tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
	uin	HL343
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2015 answer text The Government of Israel proscribes the whole of Hamas and the law in Israel therefore prohibits any discussion with the organisation. We are not aware of any change in this policy. While the British Government proscribes only the military wing of Hamas, we have no contacts with Hamas. Our policy on Hamas remains clear: they must renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept previously signed agreements. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/06/2015 14:08:03 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

The UN is carrying out a detailed needs assessment which includes a Recovery Framework, to cost and prioritise interventions for reconstruction. While the Government recognises Israel’s right to take proportionate action to defend itself, we have, in the past, urged Israel to do everything it can to avoid civilian casualties, and to exercise restraint in line with humanitarian law. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 03/07/2015 13:54:57 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have held with the government of Israel concerning the State Attorney's decision to file an indictment for only a minor offence in the case of 16 year-old Samir Awad.
	tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
	uin	HL346
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2015 answer text Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have not yet raised the latest update on the Samir Awad case with the Israeli authorities, but they are planning to do so at the next relevant meeting. We understand that the Israeli State Attorney’s office made the decision to charge the respective soldiers in this case with reckless and negligent use of firearms. This decision came from the Israel Defence Forces’ assessment that it was not clear which of the soldiers fired the firearms. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv is concerned about the high rate of criminal investigations into the fatal shootings of Palestinians that are closed without indictments. They regularly meet with senior Israeli authorities in the Ministry of Justice, Attorney General’s Office, Military Advocate General’s office, State Comptroller, National Security Council and other government bodies to lobby on this issue. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/06/2015 14:14:30 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
