question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on 20 March (HC132346), what action they intend to take in respect of the assessment by non-governmental organisations that Israel has implemented only one of 40 recommendations outlined in the 2012 report Children in Military Custody.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2018 answer text <p>As the Minister for the Middle East said in a statement on 23 March, &quot;The treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention remains a human rights priority for the UK. We will continue to call upon Israel to improve its practices in line with international law and obligations. We have offered to help the Israeli authorities through expert-to-expert talks with UK officials. The offer still stands and we hope Israel will take us up on it. While we recognise that Israel has made some improvements, it needs to do much more to safeguard vulnerable people in its care.&quot;</p><p>I raised concerns over the treatment of minors in detention with the Israeli Justice Minister during my visit on 11 April, after having visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2018 14:15:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2018 answer text <p>We are aware of one report to this effect but have not raised it with the Israeli government. Our general approach is to urge Israel to ensure that any security measures are proportionate, and to encourage steps which support the economy of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the issuing of work permits. Most recently I raised this during my visit on 11 April to Israel when I met with Israeli Ministers and senior officials, after having visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2018 14:13:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>Whilst we have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities, the UK continues to have strong concerns about continued reports of ill-treatment of Palestinian minors in Israeli military detention. While we welcome progress made by Israel following the recommendations of the Children in Military Custody Report, we remain particularly concerned by reports of the continued heavy use of painful restraints and the high number of Palestinian children who are not informed of their legal rights, in contravention of Israel's own regulations. We will continue to push for the implementation of the recommendations of the children in military Custody report in full, and we continue to offer to support to Israel through expert level talks.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/03/2018 17:39:13 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

We do however continue to make clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concerns over the demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes. The UK’s position is clear. Demolitions and evictions cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians; call into question Israel’s commitment to a viable two-state solution; and, in all but the most exceptional cases, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/03/2018 17:48:16 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Yesh Din's December 2017 annual data sheet on law enforcement on Israeli civilians suspected of ideologically motivated crime against Palestinians in the West Bank, particularly with regard to the finding that only three per cent of investigations of such crimes have resulted in a conviction.

uin	HL5681
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>While we have not made an assessment of this issue, the UK strongly condemns all forms of violence, including any incidence of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians. We also deplore incitement and comments that could stir up hatred and prejudice. We welcome the efforts of Israeli authorities to tackle settler violence, and urge them to thoroughly investigate every instance, and bring those responsible to justice. We have also stressed the importance of the Israel security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population. We have a regular dialogue with both the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel in which we reiterate the need for both sides to prepare their populations for peaceful coexistence, including by promoting a more positive portrayal of each other.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/03/2018 15:51:07 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the criteria necessary to achieve a two-state solution with a contiguous, economically viable, and independent Palestinian state.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL5684
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>​Our longstanding policy in support of a two-state solution remains clear. We support a negotiated settlement based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, Jerusalem as the shared capital of both states, and a just, fair, agreed and realistic settlement for refugees. The Palestinian Authority has made important progress on state-building which has been recognised by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. We see negotiations towards a two-state solution as the best way to achieve a contiguous, economically viable, and independent Palestinian state.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/03/2018 15:36:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
