answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>We look forward to the working visit by President Trump in July. It will be a timely opportunity for bilateral discussions between the President and the Prime Minister. As the Prime Minister made clear in her statement of 6 December 2017, we disagree with the US' decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem and recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital before a final status agreement. We believe it is unhelpful to prospects for peace in the region.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/05/2018 11:20:44 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>We regularly raise our concerns on the issue of settlements with the Government of Israel and urge it to reverse its policy of settlement expansion. The UK’s position on settlements is clear.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of Israel concerning Israel's Settlements Regularisation Law and the test case to be held before the Israeli Supreme Court on 3 June; and what assessment they have made of the letter from Lawyers for Human Rights to the Minister of State for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL7485
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2018 answer text <p>​As the UK made clear in our statement of 7 February 2017 we condemn the passing of the Land Regularisation Law by the Knesset. This damages Israel’s standing with its international partners. This law paves the way for significant growth in settlements deep in the West Bank, threatening the viability of the two-state solution. I received the letter from Lawyers for Palestinian Human Rights (LPHR) outlining their concerns. I replied to the LPHR on this issue on 11 May.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 17/05/2018 12:09:53 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
