Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will summon the Israeli Ambassador to discuss recent reports of summary killings in the West Bank.

It is the long-standing policy of the UK Government not to set out the circumstances in which we would or would not summon a particular Ambassador, but we maintain a number of channels for raising concerns with the Israeli Government when necessary. On the wider issues raised, I refer the Hon Member to the statement made to the House by the Foreign Secretary on 18 November.
