We deplore all incitement to violence and raise cases of concern with both the Israeli and Palestinian authorities as required. We have urged the Israeli and Palestinian leadership to avoid engaging in, or encouraging, the type of action and language which will make it more difficult to achieve a peaceful negotiated solution to the conflict. We continue to support Palestinian calls to reinstate the Tripartite Committee as the appropriate channel to deal with any such allegations.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/03/2017 14:34:35 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2016 answer text <p>The Government believes that Israel must fulfil its obligations under the Oslo Accords, including through the exploration of shared natural resources. We continue to stress to the Israeli authorities the damage caused by its restrictions. I can assure you that the Government has long been of the view that easing restrictions, both on the movement of Palestinian people and goods internally and externally, and on access to natural resources, is an important step on the path to a two-state solution.</p><p>The gas fields off the coast of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories are a commercial matter. We remain in regular contact with British Gas, the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel about the exploration of offshore oil and gas. We also continue to follow the situation of oil exploration licenses in the Golan Heights closely. We have been clear that Israel must comply with its obligations under international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 05/09/2016 15:08:07 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
