uin	HL14191
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK is concerned about the impact of Israel's decision to withhold tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority (PA). The Israeli decision will have significant consequences for stability and security, and will impact the humanitarian and economic situation for ordinary Palestinians. We expect economic and fiscal agreements between Israel and the PA to continue to be fully implemented, including Israel's obligations under the Oslo Accords and Paris Protocol. We raised our concerns about Israel's decision with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 21 February. We also remain concerned about the Palestinian system of payments to prisoners and lobby the PA on this issue. But this is not a justification for withholding agreed tax revenues.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/03/2019 17:46:06 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

It is vital that all actions are proportionate, in line with International Humanitarian Law, and are calibrated to avoid civilian casualties.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>We expect economic and fiscal agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) to continue to be fully implemented, including Israel's obligations under the Oslo Accords and Paris Protocol. We have concerns regarding the nature of the Palestinian system of payments to detainees in Israeli jails and families and lobby the PA on this issue. But this is not a justification for withholding agreed tax revenues. We therefore regret the Israeli decision to withhold some of the tax revenues Israel regularly transfers to the PA and are concerned about the impact this will have on the PA's fiscal stability. Government officials discussed these concerns with Israeli Government Officials in London on 21 February.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/03/2019 16:44:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
