Entry is through either Israel, with permission from the Israeli authorities, or Egypt, with permission from the Egyptian authorities (although this border has been closed almost entirely since October 2014).</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/01/2017 14:16:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
