My Department has consulted with our missions in the region on this case.
I repeat the call that I have made previously, for security forces to be restrained and proportionate in their actions, and for all sides to avoid any provocative actions which could further inflame the situation. I condemn all attacks on innocent people, and any use of force that results in avoidable deaths.
The overall human rights situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including the treatment of children, remains a matter of concern, and will continue to be raised by my Department, through our missions in the region, at EU level, and in the relevant international fora.
