Written Answers - Middle East Issues.

Joe Costello

Ceist:

146 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs the action he has taken to help the plight of those Palestinians who have had their land and property seized in recent times in Jerusalem; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6415/03]

The question of land seizures by the Israeli occupation forces in east Jerusalem and elsewhere in the occupied territories has been the subject of contacts between the European Union and the Government of Israel. We have made known our strong objections to such seizures and reminded the Government of Israel of its obligations as an occupying power under the terms of the Fourth Geneva Convention, which is clearly applicable to east Jerusalem.
