answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2018 answer text <p>As the Minister for the Middle East said in a statement on 23 March, &quot;The treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention remains a human rights priority for the UK. We will continue to call upon Israel to improve its practices in line with international law and obligations. We have offered to help the Israeli authorities through expert-to-expert talks with UK officials. The offer still stands and we hope Israel will take us up on it. While we recognise that Israel has made some improvements, it needs to do much more to safeguard vulnerable people in its care.&quot;</p><p>I raised concerns over the treatment of minors in detention with the Israeli Justice Minister during my visit on 11 April, after having visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2018 14:15:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what action, if any, they will take to prevent the forcible transfer of farming-shepherding communities throughout Area C of the West Bank.

uin	HL6668
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2018 answer text <p>The UK is concerned by Israeli proposals to forcibly transfer some communities in Area C, including the Bedouin population from the E1 area, which the UN has said could constitute forcible transfer. We have been clear about this with the Israeli authorities and we regularly raise the matter through our Embassy in Tel Aviv. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa discussed the threat of forcible transfer with the Susiya Bedouin community during his visit to the Occupied Palestinian Territories in August 2017 and most recently raised our concerns about plans to demolish the village with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 27 February 2018. I visited the Bedouin community in Abu Nuwar on 10 April, and subsequently raised concerns about their treatment in meetings with Israeli Ministers and senior officials on 11 April.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2018 14:14:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL6669
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2018 answer text <p>We are aware of one report to this effect but have not raised it with the Israeli government. Our general approach is to urge Israel to ensure that any security measures are proportionate, and to encourage steps which support the economy of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the issuing of work permits. Most recently I raised this during my visit on 11 April to Israel when I met with Israeli Ministers and senior officials, after having visited the Occupied Palestinian Territories.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2018 14:13:45 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
