Israel: Bedouin
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they intend to take to prevent the Bedouin village of Um Al-Kheir in the South Hebron Hills being demolished by Israeli forces.
- Answer
-
We are deeply concerned that demolitions and evictions of villages in the West Bank have a devastating impact on the communities concerned and will likely open the way for further settlement expansion – endangering the viability of the two-state solution. We have been clear about our grave concerns with the Israeli authorities and we regularly raise the matter through our Embassy in Tel Aviv.
