There is ethnic cleansing in areas of the West Bank, says Miliband
One of the subjects that could come up is the UK's decision to sanction illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Yesterday, Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband announced an import ban on goods from the settlements.
In a major shift in the UK government's policy towards Israel, the foreign secretary also accused the Israeli government of turning a blind eye to what he called "ethnic cleansing" by settlers he described as "terrorists".
In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced the closure of the British consulate in East Jerusalem as part of a number of "counter-measures" against the UK.
The Tories have already condemned the sanctions, and this morning Saar thanked the Conservative Party for its "firm opposition to the hostile Labour government's announcement". He said he had spoken to Kemi Badenoch and shadow foreign secretary Tom Tugendhat yesterday.
The sanctions had a warmer reception from the Lib Dems, who said they support "robustly challenging the illegal actions" of the Israeli government.
Andy Burnham has been prime minister since June, but he held his first PMQs just last week after Parliament returned from summer recess.
In that session, most questions focused on the economy. Badenoch pressed Burnham on how he would deal with the UK's increasing debt, after the cost of borrowing reached an 18-year high.
In a similar tone to his predecessor Keir Starmer, Burnham blamed the previous Tory government, saying the "turbulence on global markets are because of that exposure that they left behind".

Prime Minister Andy Burnham will be facing Tory leader Kemi Badenoch, and hearing from MPs across the House of Commons, when this week's Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs) kicks off soon.
It comes one day after the UK government announced it would be imposing sanctions on illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.
The move has been strongly criticised by the Tories, with shadow foreign secretary Tom Tugendhat saying turning Israel into a "pariah" would risk a "further rise in antisemitic violence on our own streets".
It's also the first PMQs since protests against small boat arrivals in Dover and Portsmouth caused major disruption over the weekend.
