May's spokeswoman said she would also reiterate her support for the Iran nuclear deal, which Prime Minister Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump strongly oppose. She will however set out Britain's concerns over an increase in Israeli settlement activity in occupied lands on which the Palestinians hope to create independent state, the spokeswoman said. Speaking at a West Bank settlement on Thursday, Netanyahu said he would raise the issue of Iran with May. "I am going to speak with her about the changing reality in our region and the need to adopt new, different and common approaches towards the huge threats in our region, primarily the threat from Iran," Netanyahu said. May's spokeswoman said Britain believed the Iran nuclear deal was "vitally important for regional security".
