Israel: Palestinians
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 21 February (HL6050), what judicial body they consider would be able to make decision about allegations of the crime of apartheid in respect of Occupied Palestinian Territory.
- Answer
-
The issue of jurisdiction over the crime of apartheid is a matter for an appropriate international judicial body. The government believes that the use of the apartheid terminology hardens positions on both sides. We encourage direct engagement between the Government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Our priority remains support for a two-state solution.
