These plans could have a devastating impact on the communities concerned and will likely open the way for further settlement expansion – endangering the viability of the two-state solution.</p><p>We have been clear about our grave concerns with the Israeli authorities and we regularly raise this thorough our Embassy in Tel Aviv. On 3 November, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Mr. Ellwood), met Abu Khamis, leader of the Khan al Ahmar Bedouin community, and an official from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, to discuss the situation of the Bedouin living in the E1 Zone of the West Bank.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 21/11/2016 14:18:48 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
