Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made for the implications of his policies of the sentencing of Palestinian World Vision aid worker, Mohammad El Halabi, by the Israeli authorities.

The UK is aware of the sentencing of former Gaza World Vision Director Mohammad Halabi. We are aware of issues regarding the trial process and are engaged with the Israeli authorities on these issues. We will monitor Mr Halabi's appeal closely.
