While the Foreign Secretary has not recently discussed this specific issue with his
Israeli counterpart, our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate-General in Jerusalem
frequently urge both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities to take steps to improve
conditions in Gaza. Every Israeli and Palestinian has the right to live in peace and
security. We strongly condemn the recent attempted assassination of Prime Minister
Hamdallah on 13 March, for which there is no justification. The UK continues to support
the return of the legitimate Palestinian Authority to Gaza. We urge non-violence,
dialogue and progress towards a sustainable Hamas-Fatah reconciliation and an improvement
in the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
