Israel: Overseas Trade
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to discourage UK nationals from buying properties in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
- Answer
-
The UK’s position has been consistently robust—settlements are illegal, they are clear violation of international law. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s travel advice clearly outlines the UK position and that potential purchasers should be aware that a future peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, or between Israel and Syria, could have consequences for property purchased in these settlements.
