'Settlements Bring Security' conference in Jerusalem: FCDO statement
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office gave a statement about the 'Settlements Bring Security' conference organised in Jerusalem on 28 January 2024.
A statement from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO):
The UK is alarmed by the conference in Jerusalem calling for the resettlement of Gaza, and that Israeli ministers participated.
The UK’s position is clear: Gaza is occupied Palestinian territory and will be part of the future Palestinian state.
Settlements are illegal. No Palestinian should be threatened with forcible displacement or relocation.
