Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking to help ensure that the Israeli Government upholds its obligations under international law.

The UK regularly calls on the Government of Israel to comply with its obligations under International Law.

As the Foreign Secretary set out in September, the official view of the Government is that Israel's continued occupation is unlawful, in line with the key finding of the ICJ's July 2024 Advisory Opinion.

Our view is based on the nature and totality of the Government of Israel's actions in Palestine over decades: the length of the occupation, the Government of Israel's entrenchment of its control and its expansionist agenda via illegal settlements.
