This covers issues of key importance to Gibraltar and the surrounding region, and the Governments of both the UK and Gibraltar judge that it provides a firm basis to safeguard Gibraltar's interests.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2021 answer text <p>We are aware of the difficulties facing Palestinian olive growers.

We have expressed our concerns to the Government of Israel and security officials about the destruction of olive trees and the prevention of access to them on a number of occasions. The UK condemns any incidence of violence by settlers against Palestinians. We continue to stress the importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population. We urge them to thoroughly investigate every instance and bring those responsible to justice.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/01/2021 16:15:28 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL11788
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2021 answer text <p>We are deeply concerned by the situation in Gaza. The UK condemns the firing of rockets at civilian populations and urges both sides to work together to promote peace. Any attacks targeted against civilians are unlawful and unjustifiable. All countries, including Israel, have a legitimate right to self-defence, and the right to defend their citizens from attack. In doing so, it is vital that all actions are proportionate, in line with International Humanitarian Law, and are calibrated to avoid civilian casualties. We continue to call upon Hamas and other terrorist groups to permanently end their incitement and rocket fire against Israel.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/01/2021 16:18:07 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
