To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel regarding a new law allowing those (1) convicted of, or (2) charged with, acts of terrorism to be deprived of (a) citizenship, or (b) residency; and what was the outcome of any such discussions.

The UK Government strongly condemns all acts of terrorism and incitement of violence. We have not raised this issue specifically with the Government of Israel, but we regularly make clear that we expect Israel to uphold its obligations as the occupying power under the Geneva convention, including not transferring the protected population from the occupied territory. The Israeli and Palestinian leaders need to work together to find a durable solution to the conflict that prevents terrorism, ends the cycle of violence and delivers a sustainable, and just peace based on a two-state solution.
