question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they are making representations to the government of Israel about the Palestinian village of Abu Nuwar which is threatened with demolition; and if so, with what result.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL11253
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>​The Government has repeatedly made clear to the Israeli authorities our serious concern at the increase in demolitions of Palestinian properties in Area C of the West Bank, and in East Jerusalem. In all but the most exceptional circumstances, demolitions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. The practice causes unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians and is harmful to the peace process. We call on the Israeli authorities to cease the policy of demolitions and provide a transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/11/2018 16:53:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what reply, if any, they received to the letter of 31 July from the Foreign Secretary to the Prime Minister of Israel calling, together with other European countries, for reconsideration of the decision to demolish the village and school of Khan al-Ahmar; and what further steps they plan to take on this issue.

uin	HL10487
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2018 answer text <p>​We have yet to receive a response to our joint letter about Khan al-Ahmar, and we continue to call on Israel to abandon demolition plans entirely, and instead provide a transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C. Most recently our Ambassador to Israel raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities on 3 October, and the Minister for Middle East and North Africa reiterated our concerns in a meeting with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 11 October. We remain in close consultation with likeminded EU partners about what should be done next.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/10/2018 13:15:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, following the demolition of the two EU-funded classrooms in Abu Nuwar by Israeli authorities on 4 February, whether they plan to call for the strongest possible response by the EU; and what representations they have made to this effect.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL5728
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>On 6 February the British Consulate in Jerusalem joined EU heads of missions in issuing a statement expressing strong concerns about the demolition by the Israeli authorities of parts of the school of the Bedouin community of Abu Nuwar. Our Ambassador to Tel Aviv most recently discussed the issue of demolitions of Palestinian property with the Israeli authorities on 22 February. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa also raised the issue of demolitions with the Ambassador on 27 February. 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 cases, are contrary to International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/03/2018 17:37:42 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>The UK continues to support Bedouin communities and Palestinians in Area C through our assistance to the Norwegian Refugee Council’s legal aid programme. As is their prerogative, the residents of Khan Al Ahmar decided to employ a lawyer outside of this programme. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood) met with the Khan Al Ahmar’s community leader in 2016, and we raise our objections to the demolition orders with the Israeli authorities on a regular basis.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/03/2017 16:39:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
