answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2020 answer text <p>We are not aware of these reports and have not made representations to the Government of Israel on the case. Nonetheless, the UK has strong concerns about the continued reports of ill-treatment of Palestinian minors in Israeli military detention. Reports of the high number of Palestinian children who are not informed of their legal rights, in contravention of Israel's own regulations, are particularly concerning. We continue to make representations to the Israeli authorities on this issue. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv did so most recently on 16 December 2019. We continue to fund projects providing legal aid to minors and capacity building to local lawyers. Specifically, we advocate for the Israeli authorities to inform more consistently detainees of their legal rights.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/03/2020 14:07:57 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

We hope that the US initiative may lead to a first step on the road back to negotiations. It is through such negotiations that the parties will determine the specifics of how the aim of two states is to be achieved.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 17/03/2020 14:47:02 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
