<p>We made clear our deep concerns about reports that the new Israeli Government coalition
has reached an agreement which may pave the way for annexation of parts of the West
Bank at the UN Security Council remote meeting on the Middle East Peace Process on
23 April. The UK position is clear: any unilateral moves towards annexation of parts
of the West Bank by Israel would be damaging to efforts to restart peace negotiations
and contrary to international law. The Prime Minister reiterated our opposition to
the unilateral annexation of territory during a call with Israeli Prime Minister,
Benjamin Netanyahu, on 6 February.</p>
