To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Israeli counterpart on Hezbollah.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what discussions he has had with his Israeli counterpart on Hezbollah.
The situation on the defacto border between Lebanon and Israel is very concerning. A widening of the conflict is in nobody's interest and the Government condemns the strike in the Golan Heights that has tragically claimed at least 12 lives. We have been clear that Hizballah must cease their attacks. Our assessment remains that a strong, sovereign Lebanon with strong state institutions, including the Lebanese Armed Forces, is the best way to tackle Hizballah's influence in Lebanon. The Government continues to press these messages in engagement with counterparts and partners from both Israel and Lebanon, including with Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, during the Foreign Secretary's visit to Israel on 14 July and during the Foreign Secretary's call with Lebanon's Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, on 29 July.

We remain concerned by reports that Hizballah continues to amass an arsenal of weapons in Lebanon. We condemn the threat that this poses to regional stability and the direct contravention of UN Security Council Resolutions 1559 and 1701.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent estimate he has made of the amount of weapons held by Hezbollah.

We are aware of reports that Hizballah continues to amass an arsenal of weapons in Lebanon and across the region. We condemn the threat this poses to regional stability and the direct contravention of UNSCRs 1559 and 1701.
One way to reduce the supply of weapons to Hezbollah is to stop them at source. What discussions has the Minister had with, for instance, Egypt on the tunnels and the access they provide for bringing weapons in? If they can be stopped there, we can stop them being used.

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right: we need to work together on this with our partners across the middle east. We are engaging not just with Egypt, but with other countries too.
