UK in Saudi Arabia

The UK is actively working for a two state solution to the Middle East Peace Process, which is based on the borders of 1967, with a fair deal for refugees, security for Palestinians and Israelis, Jerusalem as the capital of both states and fair access to water resources. The UK has repeatedly called for an end to illegal settlement activity and for violence on both sides to stop. You can find out more about what we are doing to bring an end to the conflict here
