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
