Jerusalem: Evictions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what representations she has made to her Israeli counterpart on (a) forced evictions of Palestinian families and (b) home demolitions in Silwan.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
The UK is concerned by reports of evictions of Palestinian families and home demolitions in East Jerusalem, including Silwan. In all but the most exceptional cases, demolitions by an occupying power are contrary to international law.
