Answer from Hansard

The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Yvette Cooper)

Mr Speaker, may I join the tributes to Her late Majesty the Queen? The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that over 2,500 Palestinians have been displaced by evictions, settler violence and demolitions this year alone. The UK is clear that Israeli illegal settlements and decisions designed to further them are a flagrant violation of international law. Our position is clear and unequivocal: the Israeli Government must stop the expansion of settlements, stop the threats of forcible displacement and annexation, and stop the unacceptable levels of settler violence.
