Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel (1)  to withdraw, or (2) to introduce safeguards to, the “Facebook Law” allowing Israeli courts to remove from social media platforms content perceived as harming security.

We recognise Israel's legitimate need to deploy security measures and we encourage them to deploy these in a way that minimises tension. We continue to reiterate the importance of freedom of expression to both the Government of Israel and Palestinian Authority.
