<p>The UK and Israel have a strong and important trading relationship. However, we
do not recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including the settlements,
as part of Israel. We sought to ensure continuity in our trading relationship, not
to renegotiate terms. The OPTs are not covered by the current EU-Israel Trade Agreements,
nor by the UK-Israel Agreement.</p><p> </p><p>On 18<sup>th</sup> February 2019, we
also signed an agreement with the Palestinian Authority, which transitions the current
EU Interim Association Agreement.</p><p> </p><p>The agreements have now been laid
in Parliament and published on gov.uk, alongside a full report.</p>
