answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2023 answer text <p>The UK strongly condemns all forms of violence towards healthcare workers, who should be able to go about their work without obstruction. Demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes 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 of cases, demolitions by an occupying power are contrary to international humanitarian law. The Foreign Secretary met with Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen on March 21 in London and made clear the need to avoid actions which escalate tensions and violence.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 17/04/2023 08:46:47 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
