answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>The UK is providing support to fund a people-to-people programme to help Israelis and Palestinians work together to achieve tangible improvements in their lives, foster inter-community understanding and help build constituencies for a just and peaceful political solution. This three year programme – People for Peaceful Change – will facilitate interaction between youth leaders, religious communities and strengthen co-operation in the health sector.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government regularly discusses the security situation with Israeli officials at all levels. Our commitment to Israel's security is unwavering. Israel has the right to ensure its own security, and its citizens have the right to live without fear of attack. Rocket attacks indiscriminately threaten the daily lives of Israelis and make achieving peace more difficult. The UK continues to support a negotiated agreement between the Israelis and the Palestinians which will protect Israeli citizens and ensure their safety. We call on all parties to refrain from violence and commit to a negotiated solution to end the conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 22/03/2018 16:12:08 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	HL6400
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>We regularly raise the issue of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories with the Government of Israel, including the situation for young people. We funded and facilitated the independent report ‘Children in Military Custody’ by leading British lawyers and have urged Israel to implement the recommendations made in the report. British Ministers and our Ambassador in Tel Aviv have spoken and written to both the Israeli Justice Minister and the Israeli Attorney General to urge Israel to take action on the report. Specifically, we advocate the mandatory use of audio-visual recording of interrogations of minors, a reduction in the use of single hand ties, alternatives to night arrests and for the Israeli authorities to inform detainees more consistently of their legal rights. We are also concerned by the continued transfer of Palestinian child and adult detainees to prisons inside Israel in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/03/2018 11:16:09 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
