	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>​UN Security Council Resolution 2334 addresses settlements while also calling for an end to incitement and terror. The resolution was passed on 23 December 2016 and asks the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of its provisions. We are gravely concerned by the increased pace of settlement advancement by the Israeli government in 2017, including plans for the first new settlement deep in the West Bank in more than 25 years, the first new housing units in Hebron for 15 years, and legislation to retroactively approve unauthorised settlement outposts.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/11/2017 17:57:19 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt previous answer version 23755 answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>​The UK’s longstanding position on the Middle East Peace Process is clear: we support a negotiated settlement leading to a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian state, based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, Jerusalem as the shared capital of both states, and a just, fair, agreed, and realistic settlement for refugees. We will continue to press Israel and the Palestinians strongly on the need to re-enter direct negotiations and refrain from taking actions which make peace more difficult. The Foreign Secretary reiterated the UK’s support for a two-state solution and urged renewed progress on the Middle East Peace Process when he met Prime Minister Netanyahu in London on 2 November.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/11/2017 17:58:58 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt previous answer version 23758 answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
