answer text <p>There is an urgent need to address the situation in Gaza. I most recently discussed Gaza with Jason Greenblatt, the President's Special Representative for International Negotiations, on 4 April. I stressed the need for restraint and discussed the importance of bringing forward proposals to adrress the situation in Gaza. The Foreign Secretary discussed the situation in Gaza with Jared Kushner in Washington DC on 7 May. Our Embassy in Washington DC also regularly discusses the situation in Gaza with US Government officials.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Hamas have acknowledged that 50 of those killed during protests in Gaza on Monday were their operatives. Hamas leaders have also called for violence against Israelis. While many protests have been peaceful, there has been reporting of some protestors using violent methods during the protests, and there have been multiple attempts to place Improvised Explosive Devices at the Gaza border. The UK supports the fundamental right of Palestinians to peaceful protests, but it is clear that extremist elements have been exploiting these protests for their own ends; Israel has the right to protect itself against Hamas and other militant groups.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As our Ambassador to the UN said at the UN Security Council emergency meeting on 15 May, we &quot;want to reiterate our support for independent and transparent investigations into the events that have taken place in Gaza on 14 May and in recent weeks&quot;. This includes the extent to which the Israeli security forces' rules of engagement are in line with international law and what role Hamas played in events. The UK will judge any proposal for an investigation on its merits.</p> more like this
