Commenting on Israel’s announcement of plans for new housing units across Judea and Samaria, UK Minister for the Middle East & North Africa MP Andrew Murrison condemned the advancement of plans for over 1,900 housing units, saying: "The UK condemns the Israeli government’s advancement of yet more plans for over 1,900 housing units across the West Bank.
"It is the UK’s longstanding position that settlements are illegal under international law and undermine the viability of the two-state solution.
"We call on Israel to halt settlement expansion immediately."
