	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2016 answer text <p>The UK deplores incitement to violence on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and takes the issue of incitement extremely seriously. When incidents of incitement to violence do occur, we do not hesitate to raise and condemn these with the Palestinian Authority. The UK raises the issue of incitement as part of the FCO-led UK-Palestinian strategic dialogue, most recently in February this year. HMG’s assessment is that the Palestinian Authority is not in breach of the Memorandum of Understanding. The UK continues to encourage the leaderships of both the PA and Israel to re-engage in the Trilateral Committee on Anti-Incitement.</p> answering member constituency Stockton South answering member printed James Wharton question first answered 19/09/2016 12:27:34 answering member 4123 label Biography information for Lord Wharton of Yarm
