answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>There is an urgent need to address the troubling situation in Gaza. I visited Gaza on 21 August and saw the extent of this firsthand. Ultimately, Hamas' decision to embrace violence and reject the Quartet Principles lies at the heart of the Gazan tragedy. We need a durable agreement that addresses the underlying causes of the conflict and transforms the situation in Gaza.</p><p>We welcome the steps that Israel has taken to ease some restrictions. However, we want to see Israel go much further and we are continuing to call on Israel to do so. We continue to stress to the Israeli authorities the damage that their restrictions are doing to the living standards of ordinary Palestinians in Gaza and that supporting legal trade for Gazans is firmly in Israel's long-term interests.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 17/10/2017 15:31:02 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
