To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the presence of Daesh in Gaza and the West Bank.
Answered on
2 March 2016
The Government's assessment is that there are groups and individuals in the West Bank and (primarily) in Gaza who sympathise with or self-identify as Daesh but are not formally affiliated with them. We remain concerned about a possible Daesh presence and continue to monitor the situation closely.
