We closely monitor the political and security situation in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) discussed the future of the peace process, the situation on the ground and developments in the region with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on 10 September. Most recently, we have been concerned by violence at the Temple Mount / Haram Al Sharif compound. I issued a statement on this matter on 16 September.
