Israel: Palestine

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what recent discussions they have had with international partners on coordinated diplomatic efforts to secure an end to Israel's military detention of Palestinian children.

Answer

Further to my response of 8 December 2025 to the Noble Baroness's Question HL11828, we remain seriously concerned about the treatment of Palestinian children in detention, and we continue to raise the issue regularly with the Israeli authorities. On 22 June, the Minister for the Middle East also met with Save the Children to discuss our shared concerns.
