<p>We regularly discuss Gaza with international counterparts, and in the UN Security
Council. Our position on Hamas has not changed: Hamas must renounce violence, recognise
Israel and accept previously signed agreements. We call on those in the region with
influence over Hamas to encourage Hamas to take these steps. Hamas’s ongoing decision
to embrace violence and reject the Quartet Principles lies at the heart of the Gazan
tragedy. We need a durable agreement that addresses the underlying causes of the conflict
and transforms the situation in Gaza.</p>
