Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what (1) representations they are making to the government of Israel, and (2) steps they are taking in concert with other parties, to prevent the demolition of Khan al-Ahmar.

​At Prime Minister’s Questions on 17 October, the Prime Minister reiterated the UK’s strong opposition to Israel’s proposed demolition of Khan al-Ahmar and urged Israel to reconsider these plans. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa also raised concerns with the Israeli Ambassador to the UK on 11 October. We also issued a statement on 10 September along with France, Germany, Spain and Italy reiterating our call to the Israeli Government not to go ahead with its plan to demolish the village – including its school – and displace its residents.
