I expressed my appreciation for the President\u2019s strong, moderate leadership.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Palestinian PM Rami Al-Hamdallah<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I discussed with him and <strong>Prime Minister Hamdallah<\/strong> the need for urgent action, led by the <strong>Palestinian Authority<\/strong> and supported by the international community, to help ordinary Gazans rebuild their lives. We discussed the Cairo talks and the need to address the underlying causes of the conflict in <strong>Gaza<\/strong>, ensuring peace and security for Palestinians and Israelis and the lifting of movement and access restrictions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also met members of the <strong>Khan al Ahmar Bedouin,<\/strong> who are contesting Israeli plans for the relocation of their communities. The community described to me the suffering this would cause. I made clear the UK\u2019s deep concern about proposals to relocate Bedouin communities in the E1 area, and to build settlements which would put in serious jeopardy the prospect of a viable Palestinian state. I emphasised the importance of these communities being treated in accordance with International Humanitarian Law.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my discussions with President Abbas, I underlined the need for all parties to work urgently towards a negotiated two-state solution, creating a viable, prosperous Palestinian State, alongside a secure state of Israel, with Jerusalem as a shared capital.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By William Mills<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":7060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1214,886,1213,1211,1212,1210],"class_list":["post-7503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-overseas-news","tag-foreign-affairs-minister-riyad-al-malki","tag-jerusalem","tag-palestinian-authority","tag-president-mahmoud-abbas","tag-prime-minister-rami-al-hamdallah","tag-tobias-ellwood-mp"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
