To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, pursuant to the Answer of 16 January 2024 to Question 8588 on Israel: Gaza, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the speech by the Israeli Prime Minister on 28 October 2023.

We recognise Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas, but we have been clear that there must be a reduction in civilian casualties. Israel must act within International Humanitarian Law and we want to see Israel take greater care to limit its operations to military targets and avoid harming civilians and destroying homes.
