We regularly review advice about Israel's capability and commitment to International Humanitarian Law (IHL). We act in accordance with that advice.

As the Foreign Secretary has said, Israel has the capability and commitment to act within IHL. We continue to call for IHL to be respected and civilians to be protected.
