To ask Her Majesty’s Government what funds the European Union has contributed to the Palestinian National Security Forces during the last three years; what, if any, bilateral contribution they made; and whether they will propose that all such Forces be made accountable to the Palestinian people.

The EU does not directly fund the Palestinian National Security Forces. The UK and EU do fund projects aimed at supporting Palestinian state building. It is important that the Palestinian Authority continues work to build and maintain the institutions and economic underpinnings of the future Palestinian state, including transparency and good governance.
