The UK has also designated two groups known to have supported, incited and promoted violence against these communities.</p><p>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. The Foreign Secretary raised this with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Herzog during his visit to Israel and the OPTs on 14-15 July.</p><p>We do not comment on future sanctions designations as to do so would reduce their impact.</p> answering member constituency Lincoln answering member printed Mr Hamish Falconer question first answered 31/07/2024 14:07:25 answering member 5148 previous answer version 1121 answering member constituency Lincoln answering member printed Mr Hamish Falconer answering member 5148
