question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to protest to the government of Israel about the number of demolitions of houses, farm buildings and other structures in the West Bank since 2015, affecting both Palestinian homes and livelihoods; and what assessment they have made of the prospect of an EU approach on the issue.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton

We are extremely concerned by this trend. We have raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities on numerous occasions. On 28 July, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Ellwood), issued a public statement condemning demolitions. On 7 September, during a meeting with Israeli Defence Minister Lieberman in London, Mr Ellwood also raised our concerns about demolitions. We have consulted EU partners on the issue of demolitions and they share our views. The EU collectively condemned demolitions in Foreign Affairs Council conclusions on 18 January.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 15/11/2016 17:07:23 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
