answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>The UK is gravely concerned by Israeli proposals to relocate the Bedouin population from the E1 area, which the United Nations have said could constitute forcible transfer. These plans could have a devastating impact on the communities concerned and will likely open the way for further settlement expansion – endangering the viability of the two-state solution.</p><p>We have been clear about our concerns with the Israeli authorities and we regularly raise this thorough our Embassy in Tel Aviv. On 3 November, I met Abu Khamis, leader of the Khan al Ahmar Bedouin community, and an official from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, to discuss the situation of the Bedouin living in the E1 Zone of the West Bank.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 24/11/2016 13:11:01 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
