star this property answer text <p>​While we have not discussed this specific plan with the Israeli Government recently, we regularly raise our concerns about illegal settlement activity. As I made clear in my earlier response in October last year, the previous Foreign Secretary issued a statement expressing concern about the approval of 31 construction permits in Hebron for the first time in 15 years. The Government’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.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>In Turkey, suspects can be held in police custody for 48 hours only without being charged. In some circumstances this period can be extended up to 12 days. For the suspect then to remain in detention, they must be charged and their detention must be approved by a court. According to a statement by the Turkish Justice Minister on 20 November, there are 57,000 people in detention in Turkey whose sentence has not been confirmed. Some of these individuals may be awaiting their first hearing. Others will be part way through their hearing at a first instance court. Others will have been convicted by a first instance court but are appealing their conviction. We are concerned by the high numbers of people in pre-trial detention and will continue to monitor these issues closely.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>​Our current assessment is that the ceasefire agreement in Idlib, agreed by Turkey and Russia on 17 September, is holding but fragile, with some increase in violence in recent weeks. The humanitarian situation remains poor with much of the population dependent on cross-border humanitarian assistance. We continue to support Turkey's diplomatic efforts and call on all sides to abide by the ceasefire and to facilitate humanitarian access.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>​We welcome the diplomatic efforts by Turkey to avoid a military offensive by the Syrian regime in Idlib province. The ceasefire agreed between Turkey and Russia on 17 September is holding but fragile. We were also encouraged by the joint statement, agreed by the leaders of Germany, France, Turkey and Russia at their summit on Syria on 27 October, which called for a &quot;lasting ceasefire&quot; in Idlib as well as &quot;rapid, safe and unhindered access&quot; for humanitarian agencies throughout Syria and conditions to be created for the &quot;safe and voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced persons&quot;. We have, however, yet to see significant progress towards implementation of these commitments by Russia and the Syrian regime.</p> more like this

We have also encouraged the Turkish authorities to ensure that the appeals process for civil servants and others dismissed in the aftermath of the July 2016 coup attempt proceeds swiftly and transparently given the large number of cases still awaiting assessment.</p> more like this
