Israel: Palestinians

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel about reports that the Israel Defence Forces have raided Palestinian villages at night for training purposes.

Answer

We have not raised these specific reports with the Israeli authorities. While we recognise Israel's legitimate need to deploy security measures, we encourage them to deploy these in a way which minimises tension.
