question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the future for Palestinians following the report by the General Assembly Fourth Committee that a sharp increase in settlement construction activity fuelled by the passing of a regularisation law, combined with the demolition of Palestinian homes, has led to an atmosphere of despair and hopelessness among Palestinians in the occupied territories.
tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL3162
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <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> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/11/2017 16:58:55 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
