Question
to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment has he made of the effect of recent judgments in the Israeli courts on Khan al-Ahmar on Bedouin settlements in the West Bank; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Alistair Burt
The UK remains gravely concerned by proposals to demolish the Bedouin community of Khan al-Ahmar which the UN has said could amount to 'forcible transfer', in violation of International Humanitarian Law. Following the decision of the Israeli Supreme Court on 5 September the Foreign and Commonwealth Office issued a statement with France, Germany, Spain and Italy reiterating our call to the Israeli Government not to go ahead with its plan to demolish the village – including its school – and displace its residents. Khan al-Ahmar is located in an area of strategic importance for the continuity of a future Palestinian state. It's demolition would strike a major blow to prospects for a two-state solution with Jerusalem as a shared capital by paving the way for settlement building in E1.
