The UK continues to work with its international partners, including EU member states in an effort to bring an end to the violence and support the opposition to achieve a political transition in Syria.
The UK successfully negotiated a limited three-month rollover to the EU sanctions package, including the arms embargo in November. Limiting the renewal period of the arms embargo sends a clear signal to the Assad regime that we are continually reviewing our policy and that all options remain on the table.
I attended the Foreign Affairs Council on 10 December 2012 along with my EU counterparts, where the EU agreed language noting that "the current situation is unsustainable and does not allow adequate protection of civilians". We will hold further discussions with EU member states ahead of the 1 March 2013 renewal
deadline on options to support and help the opposition and to enable greater support for the protection of civilians.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to impose sanctions against Israel in order to discourage plans for new settlement building to link Ma’ale Adumim to East Jerusalem.[HL3943]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my honourable friend the Member for North East Bedfordshire (Mr Burt), formally summoned Israel's ambassador to the UK on 3 December to underline our deep concern at Israel's decision to build 3,000 new housing units in East Jerusalem and the West Bank, to unfreeze planning in the area known as El—which includes the area between Ma'ale Adumim and East Jerusalem—and to withhold tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority. We have called on Israel to reverse these decisions.
Any decision about any other measure the UK might take will depend on the outcome of our discussions with the Israeli government and with international partners. However we do not believe that imposing sanctions on Israel would advance our goal of securing a two-state solution.

My Lords, I am extremely grateful to the noble Lord for his support of the order. I am not sure what to make of the fact that he knows how to make a nuclear bomb.

On balance perhaps I should be reassured rather than alarmed. The noble Lord asked about the dual track. What is happening is that on the one hand there is active diplomacy that is being led within the EU by the noble Baroness, Lady Ashton. Since April there have been four...

The British Government has made its position on boycotts and sanctions clear. We do not believe that imposing sanctions on Israel or supporting anti-Israeli boycotts would be productive. However, we will continue to make our views on the full range of issues absolutely clear to Israel.
