Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of any damage to Palestinian homes and the al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem caused by tunnels created by archaeological excavations beneath them.

While we have not made an assessment of this issue, we regularly make clear our serious concerns about the situation in East Jerusalem to the Israeli authorities, both bilaterally and in co-operation with EU partners. We are strongly opposed to any attempts to change the facts on the ground in the East Jerusalem.
