Palestine: Terrorism

Asked by Damien EganLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 3 March 2026UIN 908079

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions she has had with the Palestinian Authority on the Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

The Palestinian Authority has committed publicly to the principle of non-violence, including a new social security system that will ensure future welfare payments are needs-based and delinked from violent actions.

An independent audit has been commissioned to verify the implementation of these and other reform commitments, and we will review the results when it is published.
