The statement follows the “Settlements Bring Security” conference organised in Jerusalem on 28 January.
A statement from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office:
“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.”
