<p>Our policy on Hamas remains clear: Hamas must accept long standing Quartet conditions
and renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept previously signed agreements. We
call on those in the region with influence over Hamas to encourage them to take these
steps. Whilst the UK has a policy of no contact with Hamas, it is ultimately a matter
for the Israeli and Palestinian leadership to decide who should be involved in discussions
to resolve the conflict. The UK supports a negotiated settlement leading to a safe
and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state.</p>
