uin	HL343
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2015 answer text The Government of Israel proscribes the whole of Hamas and the law in Israel therefore prohibits any discussion with the organisation. We are not aware of any change in this policy. While the British Government proscribes only the military wing of Hamas, we have no contacts with Hamas. Our policy on Hamas remains clear: they must renounce violence, recognise Israel and accept previously signed agreements. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/06/2015 14:08:03 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have held with the government of Israel concerning the State Attorney's decision to file an indictment for only a minor offence in the case of 16 year-old Samir Awad.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL346
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2015 answer text Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have not yet raised the latest update on the Samir Awad case with the Israeli authorities, but they are planning to do so at the next relevant meeting. We understand that the Israeli State Attorney’s office made the decision to charge the respective soldiers in this case with reckless and negligent use of firearms. This decision came from the Israel Defence Forces’ assessment that it was not clear which of the soldiers fired the firearms. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv is concerned about the high rate of criminal investigations into the fatal shootings of Palestinians that are closed without indictments. They regularly meet with senior Israeli authorities in the Ministry of Justice, Attorney General’s Office, Military Advocate General’s office, State Comptroller, National Security Council and other government bodies to lobby on this issue. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/06/2015 14:14:30 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
