answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2016 answer text <p>We condemn the demolition of Bedouin homes at Jabal Al-Baba, which is a particularly vulnerable community in East Jerusalem. We are extremely concerned at the large increase in demolitions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since the start of 2016, compared to the monthly average in 2015. The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) has not specifically discussed this issue with his counterpart. However, our Embassy in Tel Aviv continues to raise our concern about demolitions regularly with the Israeli authorities, most recently on 15 May. We call on Israel to provide a legal route for Palestinians to obtain building permits.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 23/05/2016 15:54:10 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
