GAZA WITHDRAWAL AND PROSPECTS FOR A PALESTINIAN STATE
Early day motion 504, tabled 5 July 2005 by Richard Burden (Labour). Signed by 182 members.
That this House believes that there must be a viable, independent Palestinian state established in all of the territories occupied in 1967; welcomes the proposal to withdraw Israeli settlements from the Gaza Strip and the northern part of the West Bank as an important first step in this process; but condemns the continued expansion of the illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the continued building of the Israeli barrier where it falls in occupied territory.
