Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what information his Department holds on the (a) location in the (i) West Bank and (ii) East Jerusalem of areas of violence and the numbers of casualties in each such area since since 7 October 2023.

There have been significant casualties in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), since 7 October 2023 eight Palestinians have been killed and at least 73 injured by settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. As the Foreign Secretary said on 24 November, violence by settlers in the occupied West Bank is completely unacceptable and the UK calls on Israel to hold those responsible to account.
