It’s totally wrong that the Foreign Secretary has gone silent on the question of whether or not Israel is complying with international humanitarian law, after saying he’d get new advice nearly a month ago. There are very serious accusations that Israel has breached international law, which must be taken into account.

The law is clear. British arms licences cannot be granted if there is a clear risk that the items might be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

Labour’s message to the government is equally clear. Publish the legal advice now. If it says there is a clear risk that UK arms might be used in a serious breach of international humanitarian law, it’s time to suspend the sale of those arms. If David Cameron has received this advice, he must act on it.

Too many aid workers and civilians have been killed since 7 October. I repeat my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to get the hostages out and aid in.

Then we need to accelerate through the necessary steps to get us to a lasting peace and a two-state solution. Statehood is the inalienable right of the Palestinian people and not in the gift of any neighbour.

I am continuing to press Ministers to back the call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. The killing must stop. The hostages must be released. Aid must get in. Hamas must not control Gaza. The missile attacks must stop. Settler violence must stop in the West Bank.

Peace must be restored to a region that has suffered enough.
