answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2024 answer text <p>We have been clear that entry points for humanitarian aid, including Rafah and Kerem Shalom, must be reopened quickly to allow aid in. Israel must facilitate immediate uninterrupted humanitarian access in the south, including the entry of fuel, and ensure protection of civilians and safe passage for those who wish to leave Rafah.</p><p>We are clear that we would not support a major operation in Rafah unless there is a very clear plan for how to protect people and save lives. We have not seen that plan so, in these circumstances, we would not support a major operation in Rafah.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 21/05/2024 08:32:03 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2024 answer text <p>The passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2728 reflected international consensus behind the UK's position that we need an immediate pause in the fighting to get aid into Gaza, to secure the release of hostages and make progress towards a permanent, sustainable ceasefire. The Prime Minister made this point during his call with Prime Minister Netanyahu on 30 April. The Foreign Secretary raised this with counterparts and partners during his visit to Israel and the OPTs in April.</p><p>We continue to use public and private diplomatic channels as well as multilateral fora to underline this.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 13/05/2024 15:44:04 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
