Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to foster greater relations with Israel.

The bilateral relationship between the UK and Israel has never been stronger. The Foreign Secretary signed the 2030 roadmap for UK-Israel bilateral relations alongside Israeli Foreign Minister Cohen on 21 March. The roadmap serves as a 'living' document, whereby through regular high-level engagement, our bilateral relationship will continue to evolve as a more innovative and forward-looking strategic partnership. We will upgrade the institutional mechanisms that enable us to achieve goals across our mutual priorities, including strategic dialogue, diplomacy, parliamentary, academic cooperation, regional cooperation, and multilateral cooperation.
