	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2017 answer text <p>​We have not made an assessment of the efficacy of the United Nations' conclusion that the 46 Palestinian communities in the central West Bank subject to a relocation plan by Israeli authorities are at high risk of forcible transfer. However, the UK is gravely concerned by Israeli proposals to relocate the Bedouin population from the E1 area. These plans could have a devastating impact on the communities concerned and will likely open the way for further settlement expansion – endangering the viability of the two-state solution. We have been clear about our grave concerns with the Israeli authorities and our Embassy in Tel Aviv most recently raised our concerns in a joint demarche with European Partners on 2 November 2017.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 01/12/2017 13:28:40 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
