question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they are making to the government of Israel about the reported detention of (1) Adnan Ghaith, (2) Shadi Mutawar, and (3) Yasser Darwish; and what responses they have received.

uin	HL301
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2019 answer text <p>​Whilst we have not raised these specific cases, we urge Israel to respect the role of Palestinian institutions and politicians serving Palestinians in East Jerusalem. British ministers and officials continue to make repeated representations to the Israeli Government about their extensive use of administrative detentions. According to international law, these should be used only when security makes this absolutely necessary rather than as routine practice and as a preventive rather than a punitive measure. We call on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law and either charge or release detainees.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/10/2019 16:39:12 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>​We regularly make clear our concerns to the Israeli authorities about the difficulties of access to Jerusalem for Palestinians from the West Bank. We are concerned by unilateral Israeli measures in East Jerusalem, including around the Palestinian village of Al-Walaja which threaten to restrict Palestinian access to their lands. We are also concerned by ongoing demolitions in the village. We continue to make clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concern at the overall increase in demolitions of Palestinian properties across the West Bank.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/11/2019 17:09:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL304
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>The Prime Minister spoke to President Erdogan on 12 and 20 October to express our opposition to the Turkish military operation and urge an end to the action. Dr Murrison met the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister, Sedat Önal, on 26 October and urged restraint on the part of Turkish forces and their proxies. We therefore welcome the fact that the ceasefire is holding and that Turkey has confirmed there are no plans for a further offensive, involving its military forces and Turkish-backed groups. The Foreign Secretary has also conveyed UK concern to his Turkish counterpart.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/11/2019 12:10:22 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL203
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>The Greek Government is responsible for supporting migrants on arrival in Greece, including healthcare for unaccompanied minors.

This includes, in 2019, funding a shelter for the most vulnerable unaccompanied children who arrive in Samos. In addition, under Section 67 of the 2016 Immigration Act (the &quot;Dubs Amendment&quot;) the United Kingdom is accepting the transfer of some of the most vulnerable unaccompanied children from Greece.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 31/10/2019 15:06:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
