Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has made representations to his Israeli counterpart on the arrest of Mohammad Barakeh.

Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories remain a human rights priority for the FCDO. Human rights are a crucial element underpinning the UK's foreign policy. We regularly raise concerns with the Government of Israel, where they exist, and we will continue to do so, including in relation to the Israel/Gaza conflict.
