question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the Human Rights Watch report Born without civil rights: Israel’s use of draconian military orders to repress Palestinians in the West Bank, published in December 2019.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL183
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/01/2020 16:05:43 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that Israeli forces shot live rounds at Palestinian children in Al-Jalazun refugee camp, injuring two, on 17 November 2019.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL358
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2020 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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/01/2020 16:36:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL359
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/01/2020 16:53:42 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL396
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2020 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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 27/01/2020 17:05:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2020 answer text <p>The US Administration shared details of their proposals with us in advance. However, this is an American plan. We were not involved in its formulation. The US are aware of our position on the Middle East Peace Process. This is clearly a serious proposal, reflecting extensive time and effort. But only Israeli and Palestinian leaders can determine whether these proposals can meet the needs and aspirations of the people they represent. We encourage them to give these plans genuine and fair consideration, and explore whether they might prove a first step on the road back to negotiations.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/02/2020 17:40:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>​Whilst we have not made any representations on this specific issue, we remain concerned about Israel's extensive use of administrative detention which, according to international law, should be used only when security makes this absolutely necessary rather than as routine practice and as a preventive rather than a punitive measure. We continue to call on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law and either charge or release detainees.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 03/02/2020 16:44:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
