<p>On 23 July, the UK alongside France, Germany and Spain, issued a statement condemning
the demolition by Israel of Palestinian buildings in the district of Wadi al Hummus.
On the same day, our Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) reiterated
our concern at the UN Security Council Open Debate on the Middle East. In this specific
case, the demolitions were particularly egregious as a number of the buildings were
located in Areas A and B, under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority according
to the Oslo Agreements. They set a dangerous precedent that directly jeopardises the
two-state solution, which is why I raised our deep concern to the Israeli Ambassador
to the UK on 24 July.</p>
