To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has made a recent assessment of the potential impact of Jordan's custodianship of the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem on maintaining the status quo and regional stability.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether she has made a recent assessment of the potential impact of Jordan's custodianship of the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem on maintaining the status quo and regional stability.
The UK continues to support the historic status quo arrangements at Jerusalem's holy sites. We recognise and value the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's essential role as custodian of the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem. The protection of these arrangements is important for freedom of religion or belief, access to places of worship, and regional stability. The UK Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion and Belief discussed the issue of access to holy sites during his visit to the Holy See in March 2026. The Government of Israel must work with religious communities to facilitate worship in line with the status quo.

I refer the Noble Bishop to the answer provided in the House of Commons on 24 June in response to Questions 10663-64, which - for ease of reference - is reproduced below:
The UK is monitoring the situation in Silwan closely, including the reported seizure of land belonging to the Greek Orthodox Church. The UK is committed to championing freedom of religion or belief for all, and that is particularly important in a city which holds such significance for the three Abrahamic faiths of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. It is vital that the historic holy sites where each religious community worships are treated with respect and dignity, and that the traditional arrangements enabling each group to practice their faith are upheld, including the Jerusalem Status Quo.
More generally, we know that the demolition of Palestinian property and the eviction of their residents by Israeli authorities is causing unnecessary suffering to communities throughout Palestine. We also condemn the seizure of land by extremist settler groups and their acts of brutal violence, and - as set out by the Foreign Secretary in her statement to the House on 9 June - the UK will continue to do everything possible to advance the two-state solution and hold violent extremist settler groups to account, including through our sanctions regime.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will make representations to the Government of Israel regarding the seizure of land in Silwan residence owned by the Greek Orthodox Patriarchies, the removal and destruction of property and ejection of personnel.

The UK remains committed to championing freedom of religion or belief for all around the world, including in Jerusalem where the protection of sacred sites and interfaith coexistence remain central to regional stability. The UK is clear on the need to respect the historic Status Quo arrangements. Our Consulate General in Jerusalem regularly meets with the Christian community in Jerusalem to hear any concerns.

The Statement was made by someone who did not attend the summit and in the absence of the Prime Minister—a decent man forced from office by self-interested colleagues who owed their place in Parliament to him. As someone else once said at that same podium in Downing Street, “them’s the...

My Lords, I thank the Lord Privy Seal for allowing this Statement to be repeated in your Lordships’ House. Self-evidently, I am standing in for the noble Lord, Lord Purvis, and it is a great—and unusual—pleasure to follow the noble Lord, Lord True. It is, in fact, somewhat appropriate that...
