HL Deb 03 December 1996 vol 576 c42WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they consider that any of the Israeli Government's current activities breach international law or international agreements; and, if so, which.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

My right honourable and learned friend the Foreign Secretary made clear our position when he was in Hebron: Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories are illegal, and should not continue. We also encourage both the Israelis and Palestinians to implement fully the agreements made between them in the Middle East Peace Process.
