Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether his Department holds information on the number of (a) Palestinian (i) civilians and (ii) militants and (b) Israeli (i) civilians and (ii) militants killed in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the last year.
​Public reports suggest that from June 2017 until 4 June 2018, 6 Israelis, 2 of them soldiers, and over 190 Palestinians have been killed.
The British Government does not compile an independent assessment of whether those killed could be classified as civilians or militants. We call on the relevant authorities to ensure that any incident involving loss of life is investigated thoroughly and transparently.
