answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>As our Consulate General in Jerusalem made clear in a tweet on 28 March we were saddened to learn of the death of a Palestinian medic during an Israeli Defense Forces operation in Bethlehem. It is vital that those delivering medical services are protected. We have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities. While we recognise Israel's legitimate need to deploy security measures, we encourage them to deploy these in a way which minimises tension and to use appropriate force. In instances where there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we have advocated swift, transparent investigations.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/04/2019 15:47:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>We continue to have strong concerns about reports of ill-treatment of Palestinian minors in Israeli military detention. We remain committed to working with Israel to secure improvements to the practices surrounding the treatment of Palestinians in Israeli detention, with a particular focus on minors. British ministers and officials continue to make repeated representations to the Israeli Government about detention practices. We advocate for the mandatory use of audio-visual recording of interrogations, a reduction in the use of single hand ties, alternatives to night arrests and for the Israeli authorities to inform more consistently detained children of their legal rights. We also continue to fund projects providing legal aid to minors and capacity building to local lawyers.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 03/04/2019 16:08:43 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
