To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have held with the government of Israel regarding the threat made by the Israeli Minister of Finance to take control of Solomon's Pools in Area A of the West Bank.
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have held with the government of Israel regarding the threat made by the Israeli Minister of Finance to take control of Solomon's Pools in Area A of the West Bank.
We are concerned by increasing tensions and instability across the West Bank. The UK has consistently made clear to the Government of Israel that any unilateral attempt to alter the geographic or demographic make-up of Palestine is wholly unacceptable and would be inconsistent with international law. The UK remains firmly committed to a two-state solution, with a safe and secure Israel alongside a sovereign, viable and free Palestine. We continue to engage with Israeli counterparts on developments in the West Bank.

The UK has always recognised the right of British dual nationals to serve in the legitimately recognised armed forces of the country of their other nationality. But as with any conflict, anyone who travels overseas to fight, or to assist others engaged in conflict, may commit offences under UK law if they fail to act consistently with applicable international law, and could face investigation and prosecution on their return to the UK.
Those are decisions for the operationally-independent police and Crown Prosecution Service to take, based on the evidence in each individual case. Anyone who has evidence of a British national engaging in illegal activity should submit it to the Met Police, including any violations of the rights of children under International Humanitarian Law, of the kind alleged in the UN report to which the Hon Member refers.

The UK is committed to championing freedom of religion or belief for all, and we are concerned by reports of harassment, vandalism and attacks affecting Christian communities. It is vital that the places of worship used by each religious community are treated with respect and dignity, and that all communities, including Palestinian Christians, are able to practise their faith or belief free from intimidation or violence. Our Consulate General in Jerusalem will continue to engage with church leaders and the Christian community in Palestine, to listen to their concerns.

I am deeply concerned by the recent reports of Dr Abu Safiya's mistreatment whilst in Israeli custody. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has raised this case again with the Israeli Embassy in London and at senior levels across Israeli Government.
We have been consistently clear that all detainees must be treated with dignity and in full accordance with international law, and that any allegations of torture or mistreatment must be thoroughly investigated.

That this House acknowledges the second anniversary of the International Court of Justice's Advisory Opinion on 19 July 2024, which noted that Israel’s continuing presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) is unlawful; regrets the Government's continuing and unjustifiable failure to provide the UK's assessment on the Court's opinion; believes that the UK is failing to meet its obligations in relation to the Court's opinion; recognises that only a two-state solution and a lasting peace can deliver security and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians; further recognises that securing progress towards a two-state solution requires consistent and robust action to end Israel's occupation; further regrets the continuing administrative and arbitrary detention of Palestinians across the OPTs ; calls therefore on the UK Government to immediately publish its response to the Court; urges the Government to work with international partners to press the Israeli Government to allow journalists and human rights investigators full access to Gaza to support the collection of evidence of war crimes there; further calls on the UK Government to meet its commitments to uphold international law, including by banning all UK trade in goods and services with illegal Israeli settlements, by sanctioning Ministers responsible for facilitating and encouraging illegal expansion, including Prime Minister Netanyahu, and by banning all UK arms exports to Israel including F-35 components.

That this House expresses continuing concern over the ongoing detention of Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, the former Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, following his arrest by Israeli forces in December 2024; notes with grave concern reports that he continues to be held without charge or trial under Israel's controversial Combatants Law, that his detention has been repeatedly extended, and that credible reports indicate he has been held in prolonged solitary confinement and denied adequate medical care; further notes the vital role played by Dr Abu Safiya in providing medical care under extraordinarily dangerous conditions and in bearing witness to the destruction of Gaza's healthcare system; reaffirms that international humanitarian law affords special protection to medical personnel carrying out their professional duties during armed conflict; calls on the Government to continue to make urgent representations to the Israeli authorities for the immediate release of Dr Abu Safiya or, if lawful charges are to be brought, for due process in accordance with international law, together with immediate access to appropriate medical treatment, legal representation and independent monitoring while he remains in detention; and further calls on the Government to continue its work with international partners to uphold the protection of healthcare workers and medical facilities in armed conflict and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law.
