uin	HL14985
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>We are aware that Israeli authorities temporarily shut down the French Institute in Jerusalem on the grounds that it was to host an event involving an association supported by the Palestinian Authority. While we have not raised this specific issue, our long-standing position is that East Jerusalem is Occupied Palestinian Territory. We regularly raise our concerns about Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem, and about the restrictions on freedom of movement within the West Bank, including to and from East Jerusalem, with the Israeli authorities. It remains difficult for Palestinians to enter East Jerusalem for work, education, medical treatment, or religious worship.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/04/2019 15:46:42 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what protection they will give to the Palestinian families living in Sheik Jarrah in East Jerusalem who are facing eviction to make way for Israeli settlers.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL13804
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2019 answer text <p>​We continue to be gravely concerned by the impact of demolitions and evictions on ordinary Palestinians and the impact this has on the viability of a future Palestinian state. Our Ambassador to Israel raised our concerns about evictions in Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem with the Israeli authorities on 29 January. 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. We fund a number of projects to monitor and report on settlement expansion in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and to protect vulnerable Palestinian communities from the effects of settlement expansion.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/02/2019 17:15:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
