answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2017 answer text <p>​It has long been our position that Israeli settlement activity is illegal and undermines the viability of two states for two peoples, but it is far from the only obstacle to peace. UN Security Council Resolution 2334 addresses settlements while also calling for an end to incitement and terror. The resolution passed on 23 December and asks the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of its provisions. We will monitor the situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 13/01/2017 13:35:36 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2017 answer text <p>The British Government has not severed diplomatic relations with Syria. Since the withdrawal of our staff from the British Embassy in Damascus in February 2012 and the closure of the Syrian Embassy in London in August 2012, our dealings have been minimal and only in relation to essential consular or administration issues. We believe the Asad regime has lost all legitimacy due to its atrocities against the Syrian people and that a sustainable political settlement in Syria requires a political transition.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 12/01/2017 16:38:15 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2017 answer text <p>​I spoke directly to the President-elect, Mr Adama Barrow, to congratulate him on his victory and to offer the UK’s support. We are deeply concerned by President Jammeh’s recent rejection of the elections’ clear and legitimate result and strongly condemn any attempt to disrupt the peaceful, constitutional transfer of power. I also condemned President Jammeh’s refusal to accept the results in a statement on 14 December. We welcome the clear, unified statement of the UN Security Council on 10 December, as well as the efforts of the Economic Community of West African States to impress on President Jammeh the need to respect the will of the people and ensure a peaceful handover of power.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 09/01/2017 14:00:47 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
