Our 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 urge the Government of Israel to cease its policies related to settlement expansion immediately, and instead work towards the establishment of a Palestinian state along 1967 lines, with its capital in East Jerusalem. We also call bilaterally and in international fora, for Israel to provide a clear, transparent route to construction for Palestinians in Area C.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/09/2021 16:03:51 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
