	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 9 November (HL11297 and HL11254), what discussions they have had with the government of Israel about the compatibility of the construction of an apartment block in Hebron with Israel's obligations under international agreements.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>​While we have not discussed this specific plan with the Israeli Government recently, we regularly raise our concerns about illegal settlement activity. As I made clear in my earlier response in October last year, the previous Foreign Secretary issued a statement expressing concern about the approval of 31 construction permits in Hebron for the first time in 15 years. The Government’s position on settlements is clear. They are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace, and threaten the physical viability of a two-state solution.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/12/2018 12:29:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning reports that Israel has approved 31 new settlement units to be built in Hebron, which will increase the settler population by 20 per cent.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2017 answer text <p>On 20 October the Foreign Secretary issued a statement condemning advancement by the Israeli authorities for 2,900 settlement units across the West Bank. We are gravely concerned by the approval of settlement construction permits in Hebron for the first time in 15 years. The British Embassy in Tel Aviv raised the issue with the Israeli authorities on 17 October. Settlements are illegal under international law and undermine both the physical viability of the two-state solution and perceptions of Israel’s commitment to it.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/11/2017 16:14:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
