Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what discussions Ministers and officials of his Department have had with their Belgian counterparts on developing a common European response to Israeli demolition of EU-funded development projects in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

We have serious concerns about demolitions of Palestinian property by the Israeli authorities. We are currently engaged in discussions with EU partners, including Belgium, on what the EU response should be if EU-funded structures in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are demolished.
