Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the amount of land in Syria that Israel has occupied since 8 December 2024.

Israel have said their presence in the buffer zone in the Golan Heights will be limited and temporary, and we have been clear that we expect them to adhere to this commitment. Israel's presence in the buffer zone must not become permanent.

The UK's position on the Golan Heights remains clear: they are occupied territory, and we do not recognise Israel's annexation. We continue to call on Israel and all actors to uphold their obligations to peace, stability, and security under international law.
