Thank you for contacting me about Jerusalem.
The position of the UK Government has remained constant since April 1950, when the UK extended de jure recognition to the State of Israel but withheld recognition of sovereignty over Jerusalem pending a final determination of its status. The UK recognises Israel’s de facto authority over West Jerusalem, but, in line with UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 242 (1967) and subsequent UNSC resolutions, regards East Jerusalem as under Israeli occupation.
