	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2020 answer text <p>As the UK Consul General in Jerusalem and the UK Ambassador in Tel Aviv stated on 31 May, we are deeply saddened to hear about the death of Iyad Khairi Hallaq after he was shot by Israeli police in East Jerusalem. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family. We urge restraint in the use of live fire by the Israel Defense Forces. In instances where there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we have advocated swift, transparent investigations and if wrongdoing is found, that those responsible be held to account. The perpetual cycle of violence must end.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/06/2020 12:08:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	question text	Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 19 May (HL3850), what (1) conditions they require to have been met before they recognise Palestine as a state; and (2) what steps they are taking to support Palestine to meet those conditions.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>As I made clear in my answer of 19 May 2020 (HL3850), the UK will recognise a Palestinian state at a time when it best serves the objective of peace. Bilateral recognition in itself cannot end the occupation. Without a negotiated settlement the occupation and the problems that come with it will continue. The UK will continue to support a negotiated settlement leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/06/2020 16:12:28 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
