West Bank: Forced Displacement

"Yes—there are a number of things we should be doing. Others have spoken about the issues I meant to cover, so I will come straight to the point: I think is appropriate to have a response from the Government to the ICJ ruling. We have been waiting more than a …..."

Speed Cameras: Installation Criteria

"Too often, the question of whether local authorities, combined authorities or police forces are responsible for funding speed cameras comes up.

Middle East

Post-industrial Towns

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories

"I welcome the sanctions against extremist Ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, whose dehumanising rhetoric has contributed to the land grabbing on the west bank and the destructive situation we see in Gaza.
