Thank you, Minister. Foreign Minister Payne's statement yesterday called for a halt to actions that increase tensions, including land appropriations, forced evictions, demolitions and settlement activity. Do you agree that these actions undermine progress towards a two-state solution, and can you confirm that the Australian government recognises that settlements in occupied Palestine are illegal under international law?
