The UK supports coexistence work both within green line Israel and across the Israel-OPTs boundary. All types of coexistence work can be valuable and help to foster greater understanding between communities from both sides of the conflict. Ultimately, however, the only way to achieve lasting coexistence is through a negotiated two-state solution that ends the occupation and delivers peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/01/2019 15:30:29 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

Such actions are illegal under international law and call into question Israel’s commitment to any future peace agreement with the Palestinians. We strongly urge Israel to cease such actions. We regularly raise our grave concerns on this issue with the Government of Israel and urge it to reverse its policy of settlement expansion.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 08/01/2019 16:19:28 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/12/2018 answer text <p>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.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/12/2018 13:57:19 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/12/2018 answer text <p>​The UK is gravely concerned by Israeli proposals to relocate Palestinian and Bedouin populations, which the UN has said could constitute forcible transfer. We have been clear about our grave concerns with the Israeli authorities and we regularly raise the matter through our Embassy in Tel Aviv. We recognise that Palestinians face severe difficulty in securing building permissions for homes and infrastructure in East Jerusalem and Area C. We continue to urge the Israeli authorities to develop improved mechanisms for zoning, planning and permitting in Area C for the benefit of the Palestinian population, including by facilitating local Palestinian participation in such processes.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/12/2018 14:00:06 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
