answer text <p>While we have not made an assessment on the report in question, we have been clear that both Israel and the Palestinian Authority must demonstrate through their policies a genuine commitment to the two-state solution. They should do all they can to reverse the negative trends – including systematic settlement expansion and demolitions in the West Bank. We want to see a contiguous West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as part of a viable and sovereign Palestinian state, based on 1967 borders.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​We are aware of reports that two Palestinian children were shot by Israeli forces' live fire during clashes that broke out in al-Jalazun refugee camp on 17 November 2019. The UK is very concerned at the high numbers of Palestinians killed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the West Bank and Gaza. We have expressed our concerns about the use of live ammunition and excessive force by the IDF with the Israeli authorities, encouraging them to carry out transparent investigations into whether the use of live fire had been appropriate. We will continue to raise our concerns at all levels.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​While we have not made an assessment of these specific claims, the British Government has concerns about mistreatment of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, and about Israel's respect of its obligations as an occupying power, under applicable international law. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have raised the treatment of Palestinians in Israeli prisons with the Israeli authorities, most recently on 16 December 2019. We emphasise the importance of treating prisoners and detainees humanely and in accordance with international law.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​We are troubled by reports of assaults on Palestinian farmers, the vandalism of olive trees, and the stealing of produce. The UK condemns any incidence of violence by settlers against Palestinians. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised the increase in settler violence with the Israeli authorities on 17 December 2019. Under international law, Israel, as the occupying power, has an obligation to take all measures in its power to protect the Palestinian population from acts of violence. We continue to stress the importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population. We welcome the efforts of Israeli authorities to address settler violence, and urge them to thoroughly investigate every instance and bring those responsible to justice.</p> more like this
