<p>Both the Minister responsible for Human Rights and I have raised the recent deaths
and injuries, suffered during protests in Gaza, with the Israeli authorities. We have
urged Israel to show restraint and the Palestinians to ensure that future protests
are peaceful. There is an urgent need to establish the facts, including why such a
volume of live fire was used and what role Hamas played in the events. We welcome
Israel’s commitment to investigate the conduct of operations, and urge that the findings
of this investigation be made public. If wrongdoing is found, those responsible should
be held to account. We remain concerned about an escalation in violence in the lead
up to mid-May, and urge all parties to de-escalate the situation.</p>
