To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the map of (1) house demolitions, and (2) household displacements, in Israel and the West Bank, published by the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions in February.

In all but the most exceptional of circumstances, demolitions and evictions are contrary to International Humanitarian Law. On 19 January, the former Minister for the Middle East urged the Government of Israel to stop these practices. The UK raises these issues with the Government of Israel, most recently with Israel's Ministry of Defence on 20 January and Ministry of Justice on 27 January.
