answer text <p>The Government regularly discusses the security situation with Israeli officials at all levels. Our commitment to Israel's security is unwavering. Israel has the right to ensure its own security, and its citizens have the right to live without fear of attack. Rocket attacks indiscriminately threaten the daily lives of Israelis and make achieving peace more difficult. The UK continues to support a negotiated agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians which will protect Israeli citizens and ensure their safety. We call on all parties to refrain from violence and commit to a negotiated solution to end the conflict.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​Daesh retains a presence in Syria, holding pockets of territory and as an insurgency. This includes pockets of Daesh activity in the south east of Syria, in the desert regions near the Euphrates river valley, and in the Yarmouk camp in the Damascus suburbs. The UK does not believe there to be a significant presence of Daesh fighters in Afrin or in other parts of northern Syria. We are aware of reports of dispersal of Daesh fighters through areas of northern Syria, but these are likely to be in small numbers and transitory in nature. As a leading member of the Global Coalition, the UK will continue to be at the forefront of efforts to ensure that Syria and Iraq are cleared of remaining Daesh pockets.</p> more like this
