	uin	HL2104
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2020 answer text <p>While we have not made representations on this specific issue, officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised the increase in demolitions with the Israeli authorities on 17 December 2019. The practice of confiscations and demolitions causes unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians and is harmful to the peace process. We continue to urge the Israeli and Palestinian leadership to avoid actions that make it more difficult to achieve a culture of peaceful coexistence and a negotiated solution to the conflict. We have also stressed the importance of the Israel security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population, in particular the need to protect children. Under international humanitarian law, an occupying power has an obligation to facilitate the proper working of all institutions devoted to the care and education of children, with the cooperation of national and local authorities.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/03/2020 16:01:48 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2021 answer text <p>The UK opposes Israel's proposed demolition of a Palestinian school in Al-Maleh and calls on Israel to reconsider its plans to do so. The Minister of State for the Middle East and North Africa raised UK concerns about the demolition of Palestinian infrastructure, including the potential demolition of schools, with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 29 October. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv also raised our concern about the demolition of schools with the Government of Israel on 13 October, alongside European partners. In all but the most exceptional of circumstances demolitions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/02/2021 17:15:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/01/2018 answer text <p>Our Embassy in Tel Aviv most recently raised the issue of demolitions and their effects with the Israeli authorities on 29 November. I also raised concerns about the demolitions of schools in Area C when I met the Israeli Ambassador on 29 August. As the Minister for the Middle East set out in a Westminster Hall debate on 6 December, the UK position on demolitions is clear: we consider them to be entirely unacceptable and will continue to raise our concerns.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/01/2018 16:20:29 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
