| The UK’s position is clear. In line with Security Council Resolution 242 (1967) and subsequent Council resolutions, we regard East Jerusalem as under Israeli military occupation. We do not recognise Israel’s sovereignty over the territories occupied by Israel since June 1967, including East Jerusalem. |
