answer text <p>In December 2013, we placed advice online to raise awareness of the key security and political risks which UK businesses may face when operating abroad, including in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This includes guidance on Israeli settlements (www.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/overseas-business-risk-palestinian-territories)</p><p>We advise British businesses to bear in mind the British Government's view on the illegality of settlements under international law when considering investments and activities in the region.
