Israel: Palestinians
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Amnesty International Israel’s Apartheid Against Palestinians, published on 1 February; and what discussions they have had with the government of Israel about the findings in the report.
- Answer
-
We do not agree with the use of this terminology. Any judgment on whether serious crimes under international law have occurred is a matter for judicial decision, rather than for governments or non-judicial bodies. As a friend of Israel, we have a regular dialogue on human rights.
