question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what status they give to the political wing of Hamas; and what plans they have for dialogue with the newly formed unity government in Gaza.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL2723
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2017 answer text <p>The UK proscribes the military wing of Hamas, but does not proscribe its political wing. Our policy on Hamas remains clear: Hamas must agree to the Quartet Principles: renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept previously signed agreements. We expect to see credible movement towards these conditions, which remain the benchmark against which its intentions should be judged. We welcome the reconciliation agreement which will see the Palestinian Authority resume administrative control of Gaza, and are monitoring the situation closely.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/11/2017 17:43:56 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
