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

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL1288
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2020 answer text <p>We are aware of the report in question. The British Government is seriously concerned by the continued demolition of Palestinian property by the Israeli authorities. 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. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have repeatedly raised our concerns about the increase in demolitions of Palestinian properties in Area C of the West Bank and in East Jerusalem with the Israeli authorities. They did so most recently on 17 December. We continue to call on the Israeli authorities to cease the counter-productive policy of demolitions, and provide a clear, transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/02/2020 11:31:01 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL1289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <p>As the Foreign Secretary set out in Parliament on 4 February, we are concerned by reports of possible moves toward annexation of parts of the West Bank by Israel. Any such unilateral move would be damaging to renewed efforts to re-start peace negotiations, contrary to international law and could not pass unchallenged. The former Minister for the Middle East and North Africa raised our concerns about unilateral annexation with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 4 February. We call on all parties to refrain from actions that would imperil the viability of a two-state solution, based on the 1967 lines, and make it harder to achieve a just and lasting peace.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/02/2020 11:21:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2020 answer text <p>We are aware of the announcement made by Justice Minister Ohana. We strongly condemn all acts of terrorism, there can be no justification for such acts of violence, and every Israeli and Palestinian has the right to live in peace and security. That said, we look to Israel to work with the PA and meet all its economic obligations under the Oslo Accords, including financial transfers.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/02/2020 11:33:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
