answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>Israeli settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem has continued since the cessation of Operation Protective Edge. In August 2014, the Israeli Government expropriated over 1000 acres of Palestinian land near Bethlehem, the largest expropriation in 30 years. In September 2014, Israeli authorities approved 2610 units in Givat Hamatos. In 2015, according to Israeli Non-Government Office Peace Now, construction for 1800 previously-tendered housing units began in the settlements. New tenders for 1143 housing units were also published, 560 in the West Bank and 583 in East Jerusalem. 2016 has seen a number of concerning announcements, including: the extension of the Gush Etzion settlement to include the former church compound of Beit al Baraka; the declaration of 385 acres of land near Jericho as ‘state land’; and approval for a further 153 settlement units. We strongly urge the Israeli Government to reverse its policy over illegal settlements.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 02/03/2016 15:48:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2016 answer text <p>We have briefed the Government of Israel on Coalition efforts to target and disrupt Daesh oil sales through military action and sanctions. Daesh oil sales are a complicated picture. It is known that individuals linked to the Assad regime have bought Daesh oil and there is some smuggling across borders in the region, but the majority of Daesh’s oil is refined and sold within the territory it controls. We have no evidence to suggest that Israel is buying oil from Daesh controlled oilfields.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 13/01/2016 14:46:48 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

We have called on the Israeli authorities to ensure that those responsible for this crime are brought swiftly to justice. Officials at our Embassy in Tel Aviv are closely following Israel's actions to introduce additional measures to combat settler violence.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/10/2015 16:08:31 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
