The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson) raised UK concerns over demolitions with Prime Minister Netanyahu during his visit to Israel on 8 March. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), raised this issue with the Israeli Ambassador to London on 1 March. Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv last raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities on 28 February. We have not raised the issue in the United Nations (UN) Security Council. UN officials have visited Khan al-Ahmar and called on Israel to respect international law.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/03/2017 16:39:50 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
