tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL2697
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2024 answer text <p>This is a horrific incident. It must be fully and transparently investigated by the Israeli authorities. We have consistently stressed the need for Israel to ensure effective deconfliction in Gaza and to take all possible measures to limit its operations to military targets, avoid harming civilians and ensure the safety of medical personnel and facilities. We continue to engage with the Government of Israel at the most senior levels. The most important step in protecting civilians and particularly children will be securing a sustainable ceasefire. That is why the UK has been consistent in calling for an immediate pause, that then progresses towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire, without a return to destruction, fighting and loss of life.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/03/2024 17:28:28 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
