question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the Government of Israel in response to the UN independent Commission of Inquiry’s findings that there were reasonable grounds to conclude that 35 children attending protests in Gaza between 30 March and 31 December 2018 were killed unlawfully by Israeli security forces.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>​The UK has repeatedly made clear to Israel our longstanding concerns about the manner in which the Israel Defense Forces police protests and the Gaza perimeter, including the use of live ammunition. It is vital that all actions are proportionate, in line with International Humanitarian Law, and are calibrated to avoid civilian casualties. In particular we have stressed the importance of protecting civilians, especially children and medical personnel. The Minister of State raised Gaza with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 30 April, and the UK raised it at the UN Security Council on 29 April. On 18 March, the EU gave an intervention on the UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry, in which we expressed our concern about the high number of Palestinians killed and injured and the use of excessive force including live fire, and condemned violence and provocations against Israel by Hamas and other militant groups.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 02/05/2019 13:49:22 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>​The UK fully supports the need for an independent and transparent investigation which establishes the facts about the recent violence in Gaza. We have repeatedly called for such an investigation at the highest levels, as well as in multiple forums, including in Parliament in an Urgent Question on 22 March, and at the UN Security Council. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised Gaza with the Israeli authorities in March, highlighting the importance of proportionality, and raising concerns about the volume of live fire against unarmed women, children and medics. We will continue to make clear to the Israeli authorities that it is vital their investigations are independent and transparent and that their findings are made public, and importantly, if wrongdoing is found, those that are responsible are held to account.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 02/05/2019 13:50:57 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>​While we have not raised this specific issue with the Government of Israel, we regularly raise concerns about Israel's use of force in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 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. We have stressed in particular the need to protect children. In instances where there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we have advocated for swift, transparent investigations.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 02/05/2019 13:52:11 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

We have repeatedly made clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concern at the increase in demolitions of Palestinian properties in Area C of the West Bank and in East Jerusalem. We call on them to cease the policy of demolitions and provide a clear, transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 02/05/2019 13:53:25 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
