Role at the time: Conservative Foreign Secretary.
Recorded excerpt
I don’t know the precise legal definition of that
The exchange and context
Asked to confirm the UK’s legal position on Gaza’s occupation, Cameron initially said he needed to check. In the same exchange he subsequently described Gaza as occupied in practice and said Israel had responsibilities to get aid through, while distinguishing his moral and political point from a legal definition.
What this records
The initial uncertainty is on the record. So is the later answer within that same questioning. The exchange does not show that he denied all Israeli responsibilities or that the government had no legal position.
