To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they made to the government of Israel following its decision to seal off the West Bank and Gaza Strip from 4 to 14 October over the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State
While we have not raised this issue with the Israeli authorities, we remain deeply concerned about restrictions on freedom of movement. Through our Embassy in Tel Aviv we have lobbied the appropriate authorities on the issue of movement and access. We continue to work closely with the Quartet and EU partners to call on Israel to ease restrictions on access.
