<p>I raised demolitions with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 11 October; in particular
urging Israel to reconsider plans to demolish the village of Khan al-Ahmar. Our Ambassador
to Israel most recently raised this issue with the Israeli Attorney General on 3 November.
We remain gravely concerned by these proposals and will continue to raise our concerns
with the Israeli authorities. We also issued a statement on 10 September along with
France, Germany, Spain and Italy reiterating our call to the Israeli Government not
to go ahead with its plan to demolish the village – including its school – and displace
its residents. On 31 July, the Foreign Secretary wrote to Prime Minister Netanyahu
alongside the French, German Italian and Spanish Foreign Ministers to demonstrate
the international community’s support for the village and urge the Israeli Government
to reconsider their decision. We are aware that Israel has postponed the demolition
of Khan al-Ahmar, in order to exhaust negotiations for negotiations for evacuation
by agreement. We continue to urge the authorities not to go ahead with their plan
to demolish the village.</p>
