Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his US counterpart on the future of the Golan Heights; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 27th March 2019
We have not recently discussed our concerns with the US Government. In our statement on 22 March we reiterated our position that the UK views the Golan Heights as territory occupied by Israel. Annexation of territory by force is prohibited under international law, including the UN Charter. The UK did not recognise Israel's annexation in 1981 and we have no plans to change our position.
