Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they are making to the government of Israel concerning the death of 80-year-old Omar Abd al-Majid As’ad in Jiljilya on 12 January.
We have urged the Israeli authorities to carry out a swift and thorough investigation. We have called on Israel to abide by its obligations under international law and have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation, including the treatment of Palestinian detainees. We remain committed to working with Israel to secure improvements to detention practices.
