Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning Israel's Settlements Regularisation Law and the test case to be held before the Israeli Supreme Court on 3 June; and what assessment they have made of the letter from Lawyers for Human Rights to the Minister of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

​As the UK made clear in our statement of 7 February 2017 we condemn the passing of the Land Regularisation Law by the Knesset. This damages Israel’s standing with its international partners. This law paves the way for significant growth in settlements deep in the West Bank, threatening the viability of the two-state solution. I received the letter from Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights (LPHR) outlining their concerns. I replied to the LPHR on this issue on 11 May.
