answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>​The Government has repeatedly made clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concern at the increase in demolitions of Palestinian properties in Area C of the West Bank, and in East Jerusalem. In all but the most exceptional circumstances, demolitions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. The practice causes unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians and is harmful to the peace process. We call on the Israeli authorities to cease the policy of demolitions and provide a transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/11/2018 16:53:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The UK remains deeply concerned about Israel’s planned demolition of the village of Khan al-Ahmar.

At Prime Minister’s Questions on 17 October, the Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s strong opposition to Israel’s proposed demolition of Khan al-Ahmar. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa raised our concerns with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 11 October.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 25/10/2018 14:37:12 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
