answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2018 answer text <p>​We urge restraint from all parties and welcome the return to calm in recent days. We strongly support the mediation efforts of the international community led by Egypt and the UN and urge continued talks aimed at finding an enduring peace in Gaza.
