<p>As the UK Consul General in Jerusalem and the UK Ambassador in Tel Aviv stated
on 31 May, we are deeply saddened to hear about the death of Iyad Khairi Hallaq after
he was shot by Israeli police in East Jerusalem. Our heartfelt condolences go out
to his family. We urge restraint in the use of live fire by the Israel Defense Forces.
In instances where there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we have
advocated swift, transparent investigations and if wrongdoing is found, that those
responsible be held to account. The perpetual cycle of violence must end.</p>
