answer text: The British Government followed very closely the situation of Mr Khader Adnan, who was on prolonged hunger strike while held in administrative detention by the Israeli authorities.Our officials in Tel Aviv, along with our EU partners, raised our concerns about Mr Adnan on a number of occasions, including with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the office of the Israeli National Security Adviser and the Israeli Prison Service.We were pleased that an agreement was reached on 21 February which enabled Mr Adnan to end his hunger strike.We continue to encourage the Israeli authorities to comply with their obligations under international law, including in their policies on detention and the treatment of Palestinian prisoners. Most recently, I raised Israel's extensive use of administrative detention with the Israeli ambassador to London on 23 February and the Deputy Israeli Foreign Minister on 27 February.
