<p>While we have not made an assessment of these specific claims, the British Government
has concerns about mistreatment of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, and about
Israel's respect of its obligations as an occupying power, under applicable international
law. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have raised the treatment of Palestinians
in Israeli prisons with the Israeli authorities, most recently on 16 December 2019.
We emphasise the importance of treating prisoners and detainees humanely and in accordance
with international law.</p>
