Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will seek assurances from Israeli immigration officials that access to the Occupied Palestinian Territories for international visitors will remain unhindered.

We remain concerned about Israeli restrictions on freedom of movement and access into and out of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We continue to raise these wider concerns with the Israeli authorities. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, however, advises against all travel to Gaza. Entry to, and exit from, Gaza can be very difficult.
