Two British nationals are being held hostage by Hamas, David Cameron confirmed in his first full questioning by MPs since returning to government late last year. The foreign secretary also said he had concerns that Israel may have acted in breach of international law in the Middle East conflict, but that it was not his job to make a “legal adjudication” about the country’s actions.
During a tense exchange with SNP MP Brendan O’Hara, Lord Cameron said he had seen information in respect of the crisis that is “deeply concerning” but would not say whether he had received legal advice suggesting that laws had been breached.
