<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. The Minister for the Middle East, Lord (Tariq)
Ahmad of Wimbledon reinforced this message during a visit to a UK donor funded school
facing demolition on 12 January.</p>
