question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to protest to the government of Israel about the number of demolitions of houses, farm buildings and other structures in the West Bank since 2015, affecting both Palestinian homes and livelihoods; and what assessment they have made of the prospect of an EU approach on the issue.

uin	HL2872
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2016 answer text <p>According to the UN, since the start of 2016, 946 Palestinian-owned structures were demolished in Area C and in East Jerusalem, displacing 1420 people, including 662 children, already surpassing the number of demolitions in the whole of 2015. We are extremely concerned by this trend. We have raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities on numerous occasions. On 28 July, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), issued a public statement condemning demolitions. On 7 September, during a meeting with Israeli Defence Minister Lieberman in London, Mr Ellwood also raised our concerns about demolitions. We have consulted EU partners on the issue of demolitions and they share our views. The EU collectively condemned demolitions in Foreign Affairs Council conclusions on 18 January.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 15/11/2016 17:07:23 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL3962
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2015 answer text We remain deeply concerned about restrictions on freedom of movement in and near Hebron as well as elsewhere in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Through our Embassy in Tel Aviv, we continue to lobby the Israeli authorities on the issue of movement and access, most recently on 24 November when our Deputy Head of Mission discussed with the Head of the relevant unit at Israel's Ministry of Defence. We continue to work closely with EU partners to call on Israel to ease restrictions on access. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 07/12/2015 14:39:26 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
