<p>The UK cannot comment on specific reports. However, it is clear that Hamas has
put Palestinians at grave risk by embedding themselves in the civilian population
and using civilians as human shields. The Foreign Secretary visited Israel and the
Occupied Palestinian Territories on 23 November, where he met President Isaac Herzog,
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and other senior Israeli
interlocutors to discuss the conflict. We are also clear that, in pursuing its legitimate
right to self-defence against Hamas, Israel's military actions in Gaza must be carried
out in accordance with International Humanitarian Law and Israel must take all possible
measures to protect civilians.</p>
