<p>While we have not discussed this specific plan with the Israeli Government recently,
we regularly raise our concerns about illegal settlement activity. As I made clear
in my earlier response in October last year, the previous Foreign Secretary issued
a statement expressing concern about the approval of 31 construction permits in Hebron
for the first time in 15 years. The Government’s position on settlements is clear.
They are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace, and threaten
the physical viability of a two-state solution.</p>
