Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, pursuant to the Answer of 20 December 2023 to Question 7141 on Israel: Palestinians, what measures his Department plans to use in cases in which UK citizens are believed to be responsible for settler violence.

We are not in a position to comment on individual cases, including cases involving British Nationals. We have urged Israel to take stronger action to stop settler violence against Palestinian civilians and to hold the perpetrators accountable. As the Foreign Secretary said on 14 December, we are banning those responsible for settler violence from entering the UK, to make sure our country cannot be a home for people who commit these acts. This involves making use of existing disruptive immigration measures at our disposal.
