Israel: Palestinians

Question for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office

UIN HL3381, tabled on 19 March 2024

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the level of support among Arab residents of Jerusalem for Israeli control of the city; and to what extent this is a consideration for their policy towards Israel and Palestine.

Answered on

9 April 2024

We have not made a specific assessment of this.

We support a two-state solution that guarantees security and stability for both the Israeli and Palestinian people. A political horizon which provides a credible and irreversible pathway towards a two-state solution is one of the vital elements for a lasting peace, with Jerusalem as shared capital of both Israel and Palestine.
