answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2020 answer text <p>The UK remains committed to excellent relationships with the Palestinians and our partnership with the Palestinians is improving healthcare, education and security. As we made clear at the UN Security Council remote meeting on the Middle East Peace Process on 20 May, we are concerned by reports that the new Israeli Government coalition has reached an agreement which may pave the way for annexation of parts of the West Bank. 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 UK is committed to making progress towards a two-state solution. We will continue to press Israel and the Palestinians strongly on the need to refrain from taking actions which make peace more difficult.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 09/06/2020 15:26:09 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2020 answer text <p>Our position on the status of Jerusalem is clear and long-standing: The UK recognises Israel's &quot;de facto authority&quot; over West Jerusalem. But in line with Security Council Resolution 242 and subsequent Council resolutions, we regard East Jerusalem as under Israeli military occupation. The UK believes that Jerusalem's final status must be determined in a negotiated settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and Jerusalem should ultimately be the shared capital of the Israeli and Palestinian states.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 12/05/2020 16:05:51 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2020 answer text <p>The UK position on the status of the Occupied Golan Heights is well-known and has not changed. In line with international law, and relevant Security Council resolutions, notably Resolutions 242 and 497, we do not recognise Israel's sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967, including the Golan Heights, and we do not consider them part of the territory of the State of Israel. Annexation of territory by force is prohibited under international law. Any declaration of a unilateral border change goes against the foundation of the rules-based international order and the UN Charter.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 12/05/2020 15:17:14 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2020 answer text <p>​We have been at the forefront of international efforts to reach a political settlement to the conflict in Yemen, and there are currently positive steps towards de-escalation. The UK has used its role as penholder at the UN Security Council to help push the Yemen peace process forward. In September 2019, the UK co-hosted a political event at the UN General Assembly to coordinate the international community's support for the UN-led peace process. We are supporting the UN Special Envoy Martin Griffiths to protect progress on de-escalation and the Saudi-brokered Riyadh Agreement in preparation for wider political consultations.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 24/01/2020 14:00:02 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2019 answer text <p>​The United Kingdom welcomes the Colombian Government's longstanding commitment to assisting former guerrilla fighters transition to civilian life.</p><p>We remain steadfast in our support of the Colombian authorities as they seek to ensure sustainable peace in Colombia, committing almost £45 million over 5 years through the UK Conflict Stability and Security Fund for Colombia to support development across conflict-affected regions. A proportion of these funds have directly supported the reintegration of ex-combatants into civilian and political life through programmes to train ex-combatants and host communities in income-generating activities; helping the FARC establish a humanitarian demining organisation; supporting ex-combatants and communities to work together to protect the environment; and building the Government's capacity to ensure the safety of former fighters. We will continue to work closely with the Colombian government and civil society on the peace process and related matters.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 01/11/2019 11:42:10 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
