Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions he has had with his counterpart in the Palestinian Authority on the actions of Palestinian security forces during the demonstrations in Ramallah on 13 June 2018; and if he will make a statement.

Our Consul General to Jerusalem raised our concerns over the actions of the Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces and police during the demonstration held in Ramallah on 13 June with the Palestinian Liberation Organisation and the PA on 21 June. He urged the need for an investigation to understand what happened, to learn the lessons, and to enable appropriate action in light of the investigation.
