Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between James Cleverly and Matt Western

Tuesday 26th October 2021 Commons Chamber

[Matt Western (Warwick and Leamington) (Lab)]

T4. I welcome the Secretary of State to her position. Will she update the House on her Government’s recent discussions with international allies on restarting a meaningful peace process between Palestine and the Israeli Government? Will she describe the personal importance that she attaches to achieving a two-state solution?

[The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa (James Cleverly)]

My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary engages regularly with the leadership of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority. It remains a foundation stone of UK foreign policy in the region to pursue, support and, where possible, facilitate a two-state solution based on 1967 lines with agreed land swaps and Jerusalem as a shared capital of both states.
