<p>The UK is clear that Hamas is fully responsible for these appalling acts of terror
in Israel. We are also clear that Iran poses an unacceptable threat to Israel. We
have long condemned Iran's destabilising activity throughout the region, including
its political, financial and military support to several militant and proscribed groups,
including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. During his visit to
the Middle East, the Prime Minister discussed the risk of regional escalation extensively
with partners and we have deployed UK military assets to the region to carry out surveillance
and act as a deterrent. Such activity compromises the region's security, its ability
to prosper and escalates already high tensions.</p>
