Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what support they have given towards a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.


This question was answered on 16th March 2015

We are working closely with international partners to support efforts towards a two state solution between Israel and the Palestinians. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymead and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), discussed this issue with US Secretary of State John Kerry on 21 February.

In December 2013 we led EU efforts to set out an unprecedented package of political, economic and security support that Europe would offer to both parties in the event of a final status agreement. That package remains on the table should the parties return to negotiations. In the meantime, we remain strong supporters of Palestinian state-building efforts.
