question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel about the bill currently before the Knesset that could support the establishment of segregated religious and racial communities.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL9627
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2018 answer text <p>The ‘Nation-State Bill’ has passed through the Knesset into law. The final wording of the legislation did not contain the clause which would have explicitly allowed a community composed of people of the same faith or nationality to maintain an exclusive community. As part of their regular diplomatic work with Israeli authorities and legislators, British diplomats in Israel discussed the Nation State Bill alongside other legislation and developments. Israel’s long standing commitment to equality for all its citizens is one of its great strengths as a fellow democracy. As friends of Israel we would be concerned about any development that would undermine this commitment.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 31/07/2018 12:13:57 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
