A negotiated peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians leading to a two-state solution means the end to the occupation. The UK remains committed to a two-state solution, resulting in a safe and secure Israel living alongside a viable and sovereign Palestinian State; based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps, with Jerusalem as the shared capital of both states. The FCDO Minister for the Indo-Pacific most recently reaffirmed our support for a two-state solution on 4 July.
