Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) on progress towards a two-state solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) is a clear reinforcement of the international community’s conviction that a two state solution remains the only viable route to sustained Arab-Israeli peace. The resolution supports progress towards a two state solution by calling on all parties to exert collective efforts to launch credible negotiations on all final status issues and urging the intensification and acceleration of international and regional efforts to support a comprehensive peace.
