We continue to urge the Israeli Government to fully respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of human rights defenders and organisations, including reiterating the importance of freedom of speech. We have also raised concerns with the Palestinian Authority about the narrowing of space for civil society to operate in the West Bank.
