	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2017 answer text <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> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/01/2017 14:05:20 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2017 answer text <p>UN Security Council Resolution 2334 (2016) is a clear reinforcement of the international community’s conviction that a two state solution remains the only viable route to sustained Arab-Israeli peace.
