answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2014 answer text <p>The Government has made it clear that it deplores the Israeli Government's expropriation of 988 acres of land around the settlement of Etzion near Bethlehem. It is an ill-judged decision at a time when the priority should be to build on the ceasefire in Gaza. We believe it will do serious damage to Israel's standing in the international community and we strongly urge the government of Israel to reverse this decision.</p><p>Our Ambassador to Tel Aviv had a meeting with the Israeli Cabinet Secretary on 7 September, when he discussed the issue of settlements and the recent expropriation of land near Bethlehem.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 12/09/2014 14:33:56 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
