<p>The Foreign and Commonwealth Office discussed the UK’s voting position on UNSCR
2334 with 10 Downing Street prior to the vote in the UN Security Council. The UK’s
support for UNSCR 2334 is consistent with our long held position that Israeli settlement
activity is illegal and undermines the viability of two states for two peoples. As
the Prime Minister, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) stated in
her speech to the Conservative Friends of Israel in December, the UK remains one of
Israel’s strongest friends, but it is important as a true friend to stress that settlements
are illegal.</p>
