answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2016 answer text <p>We condemn the glorification of terrorism and all incitement to commit violence, whichever side it comes from. Since the start of the current violence we have spoken regularly to both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority, urging them to use their influence to de-escalate the tensions. We regularly raise incitement with the Palestinian Authority, and have urged key figures to encourage calm and condemn violence. We continue to support the reinstatement of the Tripartite Committee as the appropriate channel to deal with allegations of incitement from either side.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/01/2016 16:03:58 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2016 answer text <p>As I made clear on 6 January during a Westminster Hall debate, the UK remains concerned about the detention of Palestinian children in Israeli prisons.</p><p>On 23 November 2015, officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised our concerns about the treatment of Palestinian minors in Israeli military detention with the Israeli Chief Military Prosecutor. We welcome recent improvements made by the Israeli authorities, including increasing the age of majority from 16 to 18 years old. However, we remain concerned at the number of Palestinian minors held in Israeli detention. We will also fund another visit of the delegation who authored the independent report on Children in Military Custody in February to report on further progress.</p><p>We continue to push for further measures to ensure that international standards are upheld in regards to the treatment of Palestinian children detained.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/01/2016 14:20:22 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2016 answer text <p>We remain concerned about the use of a dual court system whereby Palestinians, except East Jerusalem residents, are subject to the Israeli military court system, irrespective of the charge, whereas Israeli citizens are dealt with by the Israeli civil justice system. We are clear that Israel has legal obligations as an Occupying Power with respect to the Occupied Palestinian Territories under applicable international law. We regularly discuss with the Government of Israel implementation of those obligations and raise our serious concerns regarding such issues as the treatment of Palestinian children detained in Israeli prisons.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/01/2016 14:18:50 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2016 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of Hamas’ rearmament in Gaza. We remain deeply concerned by Hamas' attempts to rearm and its efforts to rebuild infrastructure, including the tunnel network in Gaza. We are clear that Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza must permanently end rocket fire and other attacks against Israel. Any Hamas rearmament undermines efforts to improve the situation in Gaza and harms prospects for peace and stability in the Middle East.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 21/01/2016 14:44:08 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how they intend to ensure that the government of Israel complies with the UN General Assembly resolution adopted on 22 December 2015 regarding unilateral economic measures as a means of political and economic coercion against developing countries.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL4939
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2016 answer text <p>UN General Assembly resolutions are not legally binding; Article 10 of the Charter of the UN states that the General Assembly “may make recommendations to the Members of the United Nations or to the Security Council”. The UK, and all other EU Member States, abstained on the General Assembly resolution regarding unilateral economic measures as a means of political and economic coercion against developing countries. The UK, the EU and other Member States are of the view that unilateral economic measures should respect the principles of international law, including the international contractual obligations of the State applying them and the rules of the World Trade Organization where applicable. The UK, the EU and other Member States consider that such unilateral economic measures are admissible in certain circumstances in particular when necessary in order to fight terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, or to uphold respect for human rights, democracy, the rule of law and good governance. The UK has no plans to ensure any particular country complies with this resolution.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 22/01/2016 14:04:25 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
