and well known. The British Embassy regularly raises the issue of demolitions with
the Government of Israel, most recently on 10 August. The former Foreign Secretary
raised ongoing evictions, demolitions and settlement activity, including in East Jerusalem,
with the Israeli Authorities during his visit to the region on 26 May.</p><p>We repeatedly

in all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolitions are contrary to International
Humanitarian Law.</p>
