Mr. Nellist

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made to the Government of Israel on human rights, and the continued occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs discussed the situation in the occupied territories with the Israeli Foreign Minister on 25 September and underlined our concern that, pending their withdrawal, the Israelis should administer the territories in accordance with international law and their human rights obligations.
