Officials from our Embassy in Tel Aviv raised UK concerns about clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces with the Israeli authorities on 24 March. We recognise Israel's legitimate need to deploy security measures. We encourage them to deploy these in a way that minimises tension, uses appropriate force, and avoids causing unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians.
