answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>I have not specifically discussed the Quartet Principles as a whole with the Palestinian Authority (PA) recently. On the three issues in the principles:</p><p>- On recognition of Israel: the Palestinian Liberation Organisation recognised Israel some years ago and successive PA governments have been bound by this.</p><p>- On renunciation of violence: the Palestinian leadership renounced violence some time ago as a means of achieving their goals. We consider that the overall track record of President Abbas and the PA shows their genuine commitment to non-violence and a negotiated two-state solution. We raise instances of incitement with both the PA and continue to urge the PA leadership to do all they can to reduce tensions with Israel.</p><p>- On adherence to previous diplomatic agreements: we continue to discuss how progress can be made towards peace with both the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/11/2016 14:52:59 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
