Politics as it happened: Sunak says intelligence services are assessing Gaza hospital blast after sombre PMQs

Rishi Sunak says "we should not rush to judgement" on cause of hospital blast. He says this morning he works with security and intelligence chiefs, who are "rapidly analysing the evidence to independently establish the facts". Sunak says he is not in a position to say more than that.

Starmer says "we are still mourning the terrorist attack on Israel last week". The Labour leader says he has met some of the families who have members held hostage by Hamas. He adds that Israel has a "right, a duty to defend itself from Hamas". He says that Hamas does not care for Palestinian people and they should release the hostages.

Sunak says the case of this conflict is "Hamas and Hamas alone". He says that hostage families will have "full support of British government".

Starmer says he has met with charities working in Gaza. He repeats that international law must be followed with Israel's attacks on Gaza, and says the situation has become an "acute humanitarian crisis". Starmer says food, fuel and water must be allowed to get into Gaza. Israel has currently cut off electricity and fuel to the strip.

Sunak says the UK has provided a further £10 million in aid to the region, and the government is moving aid workers to Egypt near the border with Gaza. The PM says he has raised humanitarian access on every call with leaders from Israel, Palestine and the wider Middle East.

Starmer says "since Hamas' terrorist attack our country has seen a disgusting rise in anti-Semitism". He says the country has also seen a rise in Islamophobia, with "British Muslims spoken to as if they are terrorists".

Sunak says government will continue funding Jewish and Muslim protection charities - the CST and TellMama - and says people perpetrating hate will feel the full force of the law.

Starmer says a two state solution "feels more distant than ever, but it remains the only way through". He says Labour and the Conservatives must work harder than ever for this.

Sunak says that Hamas have tried to destroy the hope of a more peaceful solution so "we must redouble our efforts". The PM says this has been the focus of James Cleverly's dialogue with Middle East leaders.

Sunak agrees with Starmer that the House of Commons must "speak with once voice" in trying to get peace in Israel and Palestine.
