Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the implications of the government of Israel’s planned annexation of parts of the West Bank on the UK–Israel trade and partnership agreement, in particular UK preferential imports from Israel; and whether any such implications have been discussed with the government of Israel.

The United Kingdom does not recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including settlements, as part of Israel.

For this reason, goods imported from the settlements are not entitled to benefit from trade preferences under the United Kingdom-Israel Trade and Partnership Agreement. We will maintain this approach. HM Government has maintained a dialogue with Israel and we will continue to work towards a negotiated two-state solution, using the diplomatic means we have at our disposal.
