Following the Foreign Secretary’s update to the House of Commons on the deal announced between Israel and Hamas, James Cleverly cautiously welcomes the deal and urges the Government to do everything possible to help ensure the hostages are released promptly and the aid gets to the people who need it.
James Cleverly urges the Government to welcome the appointment of Nawaf Salam as Prime Minister of Lebanon and take the opportunity to ensure that that positive step improves our relationship with Israel, Lebanon and the countries in the eastern Mediterranean.
James Cleverly again asks the Government if there have been unminuted conversations between the Prime Minister and Philippe Sands KC, who challenged the United Kingdom’s continued administration of the Chagos Islands at the International Court of Justice and United Nations.
