(asked on 30th January 2024) - View Source
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of updating his Department's travel advice for British Jewish travellers to South Africa, in the context of recent trends in levels of antisemitism in that country.
Answered by
Andrew Mitchell
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development)
Antisemitism has no place in our or any society and we strongly condemn it.
FCDO's travel advice is constantly under review and regularly updated to ensure the safety of British Nationals travelling to and living in South Africa.
The 'safety and security' page of our South Africa travel advice currently includes a section on the conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
