Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that Israeli forces blocked or destroyed the roads linking villages in the Masafer Yatta area on 23 June.

The UK continues to engage frequently with the Israeli authorities on issues affecting Palestinians, including restrictions on movement and access, and stress the impact of these measures on ordinary Palestinians who rely on these fundamental rights. An official from the British Consulate Jerusalem visited Masafer Yatta on 30 June.
