Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have raised the issue of the administrative detention of Palestinian children in Israeli prisons in bilateral discussions or at international forums to seek their release or improve their conditions.

Throughout the conflict, the UK regularly raised our concerns about Palestinian children in detention with the Israeli authorities. We continue to call on Israel to immediately facilitate urgent, unhindered access to all child detainees from the West Bank and Gaza to persons providing legal assistance, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and appropriate experts for the purposes of monitoring and reporting.
