star this property answer text <p>This is an annual UN General Assembly resolution that the UK traditionally supports because it is consistent with our longstanding concerns over the impact of the Israeli occupation on the human rights situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. However, the UK abstained on the resolution this year because of the inclusion of a referral to the international Court of Justice (ICJ). We support the ICJ, but we do not believe that a referral to the ICJ is helpful to bringing the parties back to dialogue. It is also our longstanding position that it is inappropriate, without the consent of both parties, to ask the Court to give an advisory opinion in what is essentially a bilateral dispute.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The UK, along with our G7 partners, is committed to taking action to deny Hamas the ability to raise and use funds to carry out atrocities. Hamas is a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act 2000, meaning it is a criminal offence in the UK to provide money or other property to the group. Since the 7 October attacks on Israel, the UK has also designated 19 individuals and entities in the senior leadership and financial networks of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), in close coordination with the US. This adds to the existing sanctions on Hamas and PIJ in their entirety. We have also used our new Iran sanctions powers to target Iranian financial support for Hamas. As the Foreign Secretary has said, our sanctions send a clear message that the UK is committed to ensuring there is no hiding place for those financing terrorist activities.</p> more like this

On 15 November, the Foreign Secretary and the Cypriot Foreign Minister Ioannis Kasoulides agreed to work closely together for a just and lasting solution to the Cyprus settlement process within the UN parameters. There remain very significant differences between the parties' positions. However, we continue to believe that, with flexibility, sufficient common ground to start formal negotiations can be found. The appointment of an envoy is a matter for the UN Secretary-General, in consultation with the Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders.</p> more like this

Security and stability in the region are essential to prevent worsening of the already serious humanitarian situation in northern Syria and enable the Global Coalition to continue the fight against Daesh. We continue to monitor the situation, but the UK is not in a position to provide a figure on the number of Turkish airstrikes in Northeast Syria over the last 12 months.</p> more like this
