answer text <p>Children in Israeli military detention remains a human rights priority for the UK. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised the issue with the Israeli authorities on 7 February, and a senior official from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office raised this issue with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 11 May. We also raised the issue as part of the UK's national statement during Israel's Universal Periodic Review in the UN Human Rights Council. We welcome progress made in recent Israeli policy amendments, and remain committed to working with Israel to secure improvements to its practices surrounding children in detention.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​​Hamas have stated that 50 of those killed during protests in Gaza were their operatives, and Hamas leaders have also called for violence against Israelis. While we support the fundamental right of Palestinians to peaceful protest, there have been multiple attempts to place Improvised Explosive Devices at the Gaza border, and it is clear that extremist elements have been exploiting these protests for their own ends. Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have also claimed responsibility for the recent rocket attacks from Gaza towards Israel. Israel has the right to protect itself against all militant groups.</p> more like this

We are aware of a draft law which would seek to insist that petitions to the High Court are only filed by those individuals directly impacted by a law (and not non-governmental organisations or other organisations acting on their behalf). Our Embassy sought clarifications about this proposed law from the relevant authorities on 15 March.</p> more like this
