<p>We condemn the demolition of Bedouin homes at Jabal Al-Baba, which is a particularly
vulnerable community in East Jerusalem. We have not specifically raised this issue,
but 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. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv raises our concerns 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>
