PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Israeli Settlements (12 January 2017)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Dr Rupa Huq (Labour)
Answer
It has long been our position that Israeli settlement activity is illegal and undermines the viability of two states for two peoples, but it is far from the only obstacle to peace. UN Security Council Resolution 2334 addresses settlements while also calling for an end to incitement and terror. The resolution was passed on 23 December and asks the Secretary-General to report to the Council every three months on the implementation of its provisions. We will monitor the situation closely.
