UIN HL7218, tabled on 24 April 2018

We remain deeply concerned by Hamas’ attempts to rearm and rebuild militant infrastructure, including the tunnel network, in Gaza. Hamas’ Rearmament undermines efforts to improve the situation in Gaza and harms the prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East.
