answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>While we have not made any assessment on this specific issue, we regularly urge the Palestinian and Israeli leaderships to refrain from or prevent any actions that could threaten the viability of a two-state solution, including violence, incitement and settlement expansion. We continue to support the reinstatement of the Tripartite Committee on Incitement as the appropriate channel to deal with allegations of incitement from either side, and continue to press the Palestinian Authority (PA) regularly on the importance of their swift condemnation of violent attacks.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/11/2016 14:57:47 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the contribution that monitoring settlement expansion in the West Bank makes to the prospects for (a) coexistence of Israelis and Palestinians and (b) the creation of a viable and independent Palestinian state alongside Israel.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>​The Government has funded a number of projects to monitor and report on settlement expansion in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, and to protect vulnerable Palestinian communities from the effects of settlement expansion. Accurate data on settlement expansion is vital in tracking negative developments and enabling us to express our very strong concerns publicly to the Israeli government. The UK’s position on settlements is clear: they are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace and take us further away from a two-state solution. We will continue to raise our objections to settlements with the Israeli government. 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> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 08/11/2016 14:55:26 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2016 answer text <p>​The UK Government believes a negotiated two-state solution is in the firm interests of both Israel and the Palestinians. We are working through international organisations, including the UN and EU, to encourage both sides to take steps that rebuild trust - crucial for negotiations to succeed. Arab states also have a key role in the peace process and we are discussing with them ways we can move the situation forward. And we are in contact with the French about their initiative, launched in January, aimed at securing progress in the situation.</p><p>But whilst we are doing all we can, ultimately peace will only come through negotiations between the parties. It is critical that Israel and the Palestinians take advantage of any momentum gathered through international efforts.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 24/10/2016 16:33:48 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
