To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel about the use of Military Order 1797 on Palestinian property and the demolition of unlicensed structures deemed as new in Area C within 96 hours of such an order being issued.

Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv have repeatedly raised our concerns about the increase in demolitions of Palestinian properties in Area C of the West Bank and in East Jerusalem. We call on them to cease the policy of demolitions and provide a clear, transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.
