Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 26 May (HL111), when they last made representations to the government of Israel about the ill-treatment, including sexual assault, of Palestinian children in Israeli detention.

Reports of ill-treatment of Palestinian children in detention, including sexual assault, are deeply concerning. FCDO ministers and officials raise concerns about human rights with our Israeli counterparts on a regular basis, including in relation to the detention of children. We are clear that the arrest and detention of children must follow due process and be in line with international juvenile justice standards.
