Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he plans to take to encourage the Israeli Government to freeze the building of illegal settlements in the West Bank.
This question was answered on 28th June 2018
The Foreign Secretary issued a statement on 1 June calling on Israel to reconsider its plans to construct over 3,000 settlement units in the West Bank. I raised our concerns about new settlement announcements with the Israeli authorities during my visit to Israel on 30-31 May.
