answer text <p>​The Minister for Europe and the Americas has had a number of recent conversations with his Turkish counterparts over the conflict in Syria, as have his ministerial colleagues and the Prime Minister. While we recognise Turkey's security interests, we have raised our concern that new military operations in the north of Syria will negatively impact efforts to secure the enduring defeat of Daesh.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) officials have contact with political representatives from several Kurdish groups. We are aware of concerns raised by some Kurdish political representatives around withdrawal of US troops from Syria and the potential for a Turkish military operation in northern Syria. I made clear our concerns about the impact of such an operation when I met with the Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister, Sedat <em>Önal</em><strong><em>,</em></strong> on 13 December.</p> more like this

answer text <p>​As the Foreign Secretary made clear in his Written Ministerial Statement on 19 December, the Global Coalition against Daesh has made huge progress. Since military operations began, the Coalition and its partners in Syria and Iraq have recaptured the vast majority of Daesh territory. Important advances have been made in recent weeks in the last area of eastern Syria which Daesh has occupied.</p><p>But much remains to be done in the global campaign against Daesh and we must not lose sight of the threat they pose. Even without territory, Daesh will remain a threat. We remain committed to the Global Coalition and the campaign to deny Daesh territory and ensure its enduring defeat.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are concerned about reports of a Turkish military offensive in North East Syria, and have made these concerns clear to Turkey. In the event of military activity, the UK expects all parties to respect international humanitarian law and protect civilians and aid workers, and to allow unhindered humanitarian access so aid can reach those in need. We continue to advocate for freedom of movement for civilians caught up in violence across Syria.</p><p>Our priority is to end the conflict in Syria through a negotiated political settlement: we believe only an inclusive, non-sectarian government can unite the country and protect the rights of all Syrians.</p> more like this

Mr Robinson has also had consular support since his arrest. Consular staff visited Mr Robinson while he was in detention, to check on his welfare and arranged prison visits for his mother.

The UK remains committed to achieving a two-state solution, with Jerusalem as a shared capital. We continue to believe that the best way to achieve this is through negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians, and for all parties to focus on steps that are conducive to peace.</p> more like this
