<p>I raised the issue of settlements with the Israeli Justice Minister on 6 October
during my visit to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories from 6-8 October.
The UK robustly and repeatedly raises its concerns over settlement building with the
Israeli authorities, at all levels. Since the announcement of the expropriation of
988 acres of land on 31 August, the UK has made a number of representations to the
Israeli authorities, making our views on the move clear, including to the Israeli
Cabinet Secretary, the National Security Advisor, and the Political Director of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The UK also raised its serious concern about the Givat
Hamatos announcement with Israel’s Cabinet Secretary on 2 October.</p>
