Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning the alleged hanging of a Palestinian bus driver by settlers in Jerusalem on 17 November.

We have not made representations to the Israeli government on the alleged hanging of the Palestinian bus driver. An autopsy was carried out at which a Palestinian doctor was present. Based on the results of this autopsy as well as evidence collected at the scene, the Israeli Police have concluded that the likely cause of death was suicide.
