201. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on the decision of the Israeli Government to relax rules on its police and army using live ammunition against stone throwers in occupied east Jerusalem and the West Bank; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33865/15]
View answerI have expressed for some time my concern about the growing recourse to the use of live ammunition by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank, and the steady toll of Palestinian fatalities resulting from this.
I have raised this point at EU level, and we have also made it directly to the Israeli authorities and will continue to do so.
