Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consular assistance, beyond raising the case with Israeli authorities, was provided to Finn Joughin after he was detained by armed Israeli settlers in Umm al-Khair on 29 August 2026; and whether they plan to publish a protocol for British nationals engaged in unarmed civilian protective presence in the occupied Palestinian territory.

We provided consular assistance to a British national detained in Umm al-Khair on 29 August 2026. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) publishes travel advice to help British nationals decide if it's safe enough for them to travel to a particular destination. Only the person in question can decide whether they should travel to a country or stay there, and what activities to take part in.
