answer text <p>We have not had discussions on this specific ruling, but the Government has been clear we are deeply concerned by the trend of retroactive &quot;legalisation&quot; of outposts. Moves to retroactively approve unauthorised settlement outposts call into question the commitment of the Israeli government to the two-state solution.</p><p>We continue to raise our grave concerns about Israeli settlements with the Israeli government. On 16 November 2016, I issued a statement expressing concern about The Land Regulation Bill to 'legalise' settlement outposts in the West Bank. On 5 October 2016, I issued a public statement condemning the announcement of plans to construct a new settlement near Shilo. The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson) raised our concern over new settlements with Prime Minister Netanyahu when he met him in Jerusalem on 30 September. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv have also regularly raised our concerns with the Israeli authorities on the continued expansion of settlements and the retroactive &quot;legalisation&quot; of outposts in the West Bank.</p>
