Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they are making to the government of Israel about the destruction by the the Israel Defense Forces of graves of Muslim leaders in East Jerusalem in order to build a national park.

While we have not raised this specific issue with the Israeli authorities, we continue to view East Jerusalem as part of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We remain concerned about actions which further entrench the Israeli occupation, and regularly make representations to the Israeli government about such actions, such as settlement expansion and the destruction of Palestinian property.
