Israel: Palestinians
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 2 November (HL9334), whether such training exercises are permissible under international law.
- Answer
-
The UK remains of the view that Israel's presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories amounts to an occupation, which is governed by relevant rules of international law. We repeatedly call on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation, including the Israeli security forces' rules of engagement.
