<p>The Government is clear that settlement expansion and demolition activity is illegal
and harmful to the peace process. When the Prime Minister met Prime Minister Netanyahu
on 2 November she reiterated the UK’s continued opposition to settlement activity
and our firm commitment to a two-state solution as the best way to bring about stability
and peace. Former Minister for the Middle East, Tobias Ellwood MP, issued a statement
on 7 February condemning the passing of the Land Regularisation Law by the Knesset.
The law is currently being challenged in Israel’s High Court of Justice. We understand
frustration at the lack of progress in the Middle East Peace Process. We believe that
peace will only come through negotiations between the parties, and we are committed
to supporting progress towards a two-state solution.</p>
