tabling member printed	Baroness Sheehan
uin	HL3184
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2021 answer text <p>The Minister of State for Middle East and North Africa urged the Government of Israel to reverse their decision to advance the construction of settlement units in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem on 28 October. The former Foreign Secretary also raised ongoing evictions, demolitions and settlement activity, including in East Jerusalem, with the Israeli authorities during his visit to the region on 26 May. The UK regularly calls on Israel to end illegal settlement expansion in the West Bank and closely monitors reports of further settlement advancements. The UK's position on settlements is clear. They are illegal under international law, present an obstacle to peace and threaten the physical viability of a two-state solution. We continue to urge the Israeli and Palestinian leaderships to avoid actions which make peace more difficult to achieve.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 01/11/2021 14:11:04 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
