To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to encourage the Israeli government to abandon plans for a new settler city in Gvaot.
Tobias Ellwood
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

On 16 June, our Ambassador in Tel Aviv, raised the issue of settlements with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and again on the 21 June with the Israeli Cabinet Secretary and National Security Advisor.
