	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>As our Consulate General in Jerusalem made clear in a tweet on 28 March we were saddened to learn of the death of a Palestinian medic during an Israeli Defense Forces operation in Bethlehem. It is vital that those delivering medical services are protected. We have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities. 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. In instances where there have been accusations of excessive use of force, we have advocated swift, transparent investigations.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/04/2019 15:47:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they are making to the government of Israel regarding reports of the confiscation of solar panels that had been donated to the village of Jubbet Al-Dhib.
	tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
	uin	HL1499
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2017 answer text <p>I raised the UK’s concerns about the demolitions of schools in Area C when I met the Israeli Ambassador on 29 August. The EU missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah issued a local statement expressing strong concern over recent confiscations, by the Israeli authorities, of Palestinian school structures in Bedouin communities in the West Bank. The statement referred to confiscation of solar panels in Abu Nuwar (9 August), a kindergarten in Badu el Baba (21 August), and the dismantling of an elementary school in the village of Jubbet Adh Dhib close to Bethlehem (22 August). Demolitions and evictions of Palestinians from their homes cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians; call into question Israel’s commitment to a viable two-state solution; and, in all but the most exceptional of cases, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL1498 HL1500 question first answered 25/09/2017 15:16:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
