answer text <p>The UK is clear that, in all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolitions and evictions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. Our opposition to the demolition of Palestinian property and the evictions of Palestinians from their homes is long-standing. The practice causes unnecessary suffering to Palestinians and is harmful to efforts to promote peace. We repeatedly call on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are monitoring developments at Masafer Yatta closely given the increased risk of the forced transfer of over 1000 Palestinians, and the demolition of their homes.</p><p>We condemn any incidence of violence by settlers. We urge the Israeli authorities to thoroughly investigate every instance to bring those responsible to justice. The UK continues to engage frequently with the Israeli authorities on restrictions on movement and access and stress the impact of these measures on ordinary Palestinians who rely on these fundamental rights.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK is clear that in all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolitions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. The Fourth Geneva Convention, which applies to all occupied territories, prohibits demolitions or forced evictions absent military necessity. The practice causes unnecessary suffering to Palestinians and is harmful to efforts to promote peace. The UK made this clear in our statement to the UN Security Council Middle East Peace Process session on 26 May.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We regularly raise the issue of the high numbers of Palestinians killed and injured by Israeli Defense Forces in the West Bank and Gaza with the Israeli authorities, encouraging them to carry out swift, transparent and thorough investigations and, if wrongdoing is found, that those responsible be held to account. We continue to stress the importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population, particularly the need to protect children, and urge restraint in the use of live fire.</p> more like this

Israel's extensive use of administrative detention, according to international law, should be used only when security makes this absolutely necessary.
