We have seen incredibly worrying scenes in Israel over recent weeks.
Israeli settlements on Palestinian territory are illegal under international law and the protests which are ongoing are about the Israeli government’s proposed changes enabling them to ignore legal rulings in their own country.
I raised my concerns directly with the Foreign Office Minister responsible for this region in the House of Commons, reiterating that we must continue to push for a two-state solution on 1967 boundaries in the current climate.
This is the government’s position and it is very important and I am glad that the Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict last week.
