answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/12/2018 answer text <p>​We are gravely concerned by the ongoing and increasing violence in the West Bank. We condemn the recent terrorist attacks in the Old City of Jerusalem and in the West Bank. The continued incitement against Israel by Hamas and other actors is deeply concerning. The calls for the murder of Palestinian politicians are unacceptable. President Abbas and the Palestinian Authority have repeatedly demonstrated their commitment to non-violence and a negotiated two-state solution. We continue to urge the Israeli and Palestinian leadership to avoid engaging in, or encouraging, any type of action or language that makes it more difficult to achieve a culture of peaceful coexistence and a negotiated solution to the conflict.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 28/12/2018 14:01:26 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>From 2016-2017 DFID undertook a full examination of its programmes in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs) to ensure that aid was being used in the most effective way, providing the best value for money to the UK taxpayer. One of the conclusions of the examination was to develop a stronger focus on the bilateral programme in-country over programmes managed from the UK, to ensure rigorous oversight of programme delivery and risk management, and to avoid duplication with existing bilateral programmes. In line with this decision, the AWEF component in the OPTs was recommended for closure.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 10/12/2018 17:31:10 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2018 answer text <p>​The UK will recognise a Palestinian state at a time when it best serves the objective of peace. The UK continues to support efforts towards peace. We are clear that we want to see the creation of a sovereign, independent, contiguous, and viable Palestinian state - living in peace and security, side by side with Israel. Bilateral recognition in itself cannot end the occupation; without a negotiated settlement the occupation and the problems that come with it will continue.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 08/11/2018 13:51:39 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
