Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had, if any, with the government of Israel regarding reports of detention and abuse of (1) disabled, (2) underage, and (3) vulnerable, Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces.

We call on the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law and either charge or release detainees. We do this both bilaterally and in co-operation with like-minded diplomatic partners. We have a regular dialogue with Israel on legal issues relating to the occupation and stress the importance of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population.
