Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel regarding claims that the Israeli military protect settlers whilst those settlers are attacking Palestinians and damaging or invading Palestinian property.

We have repeatedly raised with the Israeli authorities our concerns about incidents of settler violence, most recently on 15 March, we stress the importance of bringing the extremist settlers responsible to justice, and of the Israeli security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population.
