Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what his policy is on Israel’s immigration policy which restricts the access of international passport holders to the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

We remain concerned about Israeli restrictions on freedom of movement and access into and out of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We continue to raise these wider concerns with the Israeli authorities. However it is for Israel to decide its immigration policy. We have updated our travel advice recommending that concerned UK nationals contact the Israeli Embassy for further information.
