My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary met US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton most recently on 11 October 2009. Their conversation focused on the need for all parties to exercise restraint and to calm tensions in Jerusalem, and the need to launch negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians. The UK and US work together to give strong support to the Palestinian Authority's work to improve the capability of and reform the Palestinian security forces. We commend the Palestinian Authority for the improvements it has made, which have delivered real changes in the lives of many on the West Bank.
