answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2016 answer text <p>We have not raised this case with EU partners. We note that the Israeli Defence Forces have investigated and understand that trial proceedings started on Monday 9 May. The UK is deeply concerned by the terrible human cost, to both sides, of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We are concerned by the use of force by Israeli security personnel in response to protests and security incidents and we regularly raise these concerns with the Israeli government, stressing the need for proportionality and proper accountability. We make clear that every effort should be made to exclude the use of live fire.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/05/2016 10:46:35 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
