<p>We have raised our concerns over this issue with the Israeli authorities. The Parliamentary
Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the

increased pace of settlement advancement, including moves to approve retroactively
unauthorised settlement units and outposts, fundamentally calls into question Israel's
commitment to the two state solution.</p>
