I repeat that this a matter of concern. It is not yet an act and it remains to be seen what will happen. Previous US Presidents have made similar signals but the issue remains as is. I am conscious of repeated calls by the European Union, the Quartet and others in recent years about this. I make a call again this afternoon for all parties involved to avoid any destabilising moves in Jerusalem, which as we know has been the scene of sharply-rising tensions in recent years with violence, fatalities and loss of life. I am particularly wary of the damage from the use of language of provocation, which often does no more than inflame matters further and be unhelpful. I have expressed my concern and I have underlined that concern in the House this evening.
