Written answers

The Government is aware of the situation to which the Deputy refers. The matter is primarily one for the Israeli court system, to which the affected individuals have access. The position is that the individuals concerned have not been deprived of the opportunity to vindicate their rights within the Israeli legal system. In a broader context, the Israeli authorities are aware of the EU's concerns in relation to international human rights norms.
