answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2017 answer text <p>The UK continues to have strong concerns about continued reports of ill treatment of Palestinian minors, particularly those held in Israeli military detention. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv meet with the Israeli authorities on a regular basis to advocate for the end of night-time arrests and summons, consistent access to lawyers and parents for all minors and implementation of other protection measures. Our Embassy officials raised these issues most recently with the Israeli authorities on 19 January. This issue remains a human rights priority as the UK is firmly committed to the protection of human rights and compliance with international law in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We remain committed to working with Israel to secure improvements to the practices surrounding children in detention in Israel.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 31/01/2017 16:42:21 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

No such talks are planned between any of the parties, so there is no possibility of any country being invited.

We support a negotiated settlement leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state. It has long been the UK Government position that Israeli settlement activity is illegal and undermines the viability of two states for two peoples which is why we supported in the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016). But we have also always been clear that settlements are far from the only obstacle to peace: terrorism and incitement must also end.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/01/2017 14:48:45 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2017 answer text <p>Ultimately, an agreement can only be achieved by direct negotiation between the parties. Solutions cannot be imposed from the outside - they need to be mutually agreed between the parties. But international action can play a role in supporting those bilateral efforts. The French conference in June 2016 identified economic incentives, civil society, and Palestinian capacity-building as key objectives. Working groups were set up for these areas but progress is ongoing.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/01/2017 15:34:13 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
