Maria Caulfield – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Maria Caulfield on 2016-03-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what reports his Department has received on the rebuilding by Hamas of its cross-border tunnel infrastructure into Israel.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

We are aware of reports of Hamas rebuilding tunnels and we remain deeply concerned by Hamas’ attempts to rearm and rebuild infrastructure, including the tunnel network in Gaza. Any Hamas rearmament undermines efforts to improve the situation in Gaza and harms prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East.
