Context
The situation in Israel is critical with recent terrorist attacks and ongoing threats.
Question
What steps he is taking to support Israel in preventing terrorist attacks. Some 100,000 people have been displaced from their homes in northern Israel because of the fear that if Hezbollah adopt the same tactics as Hamas, the carnage could be even worse than on 7 October.
Answer from Grant Shapps
We have provided intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to help anticipate any further attacks and to assist with hostage recovery. We are working alongside our P3 partners to de-escalate tensions on the blue line and reduce that risk of escalation. We are continuing our efforts to support the resilience of the Lebanese armed forces, who we have helped elsewhere, with the eventual aim of getting them to the Lebanese southern border and ensuring implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1701.
