HC Deb 23 November 2000 vol 357 cc273-4W
Dr. Starkey

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Israeli Government about the shooting of Hussein Mustafa, Yusef Ghenaimb, Khaled Ghenaimb and Bassem Al-Hour, near Hebron. [139504]

Mr. Hain

The Government have repeatedly urged the Israeli Government to limit its use of force with a view to minimising casualties and contributing to de-escalation.

We remain appalled at the scale of the violence over recent weeks.
