Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning Israeli citizens having access to pray within the Al-Aqsa compound.

Our Embassy in Tel Aviv has delivered clear messages to senior Israeli officials in the Prime Minister’s Office, National Security Council and Ministry of Foreign Affairs in recent days on the importance of maintaining calm and the status quo at the Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif.
