We do however continue to make clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concerns over the demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes. The UK’s position is clear. Demolitions and evictions cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians; call into question Israel’s commitment to a viable two-state solution; and, in all but the most exceptional cases, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/03/2018 17:48:16 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
