<p>On 2 June, the Minister of State, my noble Friend, The Rt Hon Baroness Anelay of
St Johns DBE met the Israeli Military Advocate General and discussed the pilot scheme
allowing individuals to be summoned rather than be arrested at night. We understand
that the scheme has functioned well and has been used in a significant proportion
of arrests. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv continue to push for further progress
on the issue of children held in military detention with Israeli officials. On 23
November, an official from our Embassy in Tel Aviv met Israel’s Chief Prosecutor and
discussed the issue of child detention and on 27 August, our Ambassador to Tel Aviv
lobbied the Israeli Military Advocate General on Children in Detention where the issue
of child detention was also discussed.</p>
