Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the potential impact of Israel's tourist-visa conditions and electronic travel authorisations on the ability of international witnesses to access Palestinian communities facing settler violence.
We have not made a specific assessment of the impact of Israel's tourist-visa conditions and electronic travel authorisations on the ability of international witnesses to access Palestinian communities. We recognise the importance of access and the ability to see the situation on the ground and have called on the Government of Israel to allow independent foreign media access to the West Bank. The UK condemns settler violence and has been clear that the Government of Israel must take action to address it and hold those responsible to account.
