Lord Grade of Yarmouth – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Grade of Yarmouth on 2015-02-11.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of Iran’s financial and material support for Hamas.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns

We remain deeply concerned by Iran’s ongoing financial and material support for Hamas and other Palestinian rejectionist groups. The supply of arms to Hamas contravenes the embargo on Iranian arms exports established by UN Security Council Resolution 1747 and undermines prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East.
