answer text <p>The UK has an independent foreign policy. However, the UK places great emphasis on the special relationship it holds with the US, and will continue to work with them on the most pressing challenges facing the world today. Our partnership has a very clear common agenda: ensuring our security, delivering economic growth and stability at home and across the world, and promoting our shared values.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Since January 2014, we estimate that in Gaza over 1,475 Palestinians have been killed and over 5,000 injured. We have not made any estimates of how many Israelis have been killed or injured in the same period, but during the recent Gaza crisis six Israeli civilians were killed (including one child). On 22 October, a three month old child was killed, while seven others were injured when a Palestinian drove his car into a light rail stop in East Jerusalem.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We continue to work closely with the Nigerian authorities and our other partners in the search for the abducted Chibok girls. On 3 September, my Hon Friend, the Member for Southend and Rochford East (James Duddridge MP), the Minister for Africa led the UK delegation to the Abuja ministerial meeting on security in Nigeria. At this meeting, he emphasised the importance of regional coordination between Nigeria and its neighbours in defeating Boko Haram and locating the girls. The Prime Minister has stressed to President Jonathan our continued commitment to helping the Nigerian Government find the girls. It is not yet clear what impact the recently announced ceasefire between the Nigerian security forces and Boko Haram might have on the missing Chibok girls. We are monitoring events closely.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK has been at the forefront of the international response to the Ebola outbreak, working closely with the UN. However, the UK Government recognises that much more needs to be done to ensure that the spread of Ebola in West Africa is contained. That is why my Rt Hon Friend, the Member for Witney (David Cameron), Prime Minister has pushed for an urgent and ambitious scale-up in EU and Member States resources to fight Ebola at October’s European Council. The Prime Minster will make a statement about this on Monday 27 October. We have also been working with international partners to encourage them to increase contributions, including to the UN’s Ebola Trust Fund, which is currently significantly underfunded.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have not received any reports of recent incidences of rocket attacks on Israel and we believe that the present level of threat of such attacks is low to moderate. We are aware of recent false alarms of rocket fire into Israel. We amended our travel advice for Israel on 2 September, to remove advice against all travel to areas of Israel within a 40km range of the Israeli border with Gaza.</p> more like this
