answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>We continue to believe the two-state solution is the only viable solution to the Arab Israeli conflict, and that there is now some need for greater urgency in attempting to resolve such a long standing issue. We are concerned that settlement construction, demolition of Palestinian property by the Israeli authorities, incitement and terrorist attacks are undermining prospects for peace. Ultimately we believe that peace will only come through negotiations between the parties, but international action could play a role in supporting progress. We are in close consultation with international partners, including the US, about what kind of renewed process might have a better chance of success, including one with a greater role for regional partners.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/10/2017 16:26:48 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>We regularly raise our concerns over the illegality of Israeli settlements built in the occupied Palestinian territories. As well as being illegal under international law, we view settlements as an obstacle to the two state solution. When I visited Israel in August this year, I raised our concern with the Israeli Minister for Regional Cooperation and the Deputy Minister in the Prime Ministers’ Office.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 18/10/2017 16:24:58 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
