CIVILIANS IN GAZA
Early day motion 624, tabled 18 December 2007 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 63 members.
That this House notes the financial pledges of around £7.4 billion from 90 countries to be made to Palestine in the follow-up to the formal re-launch of the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations last month in Annapolis; notes with considerable alarm Israel's overnight extrajudicial killings of 12 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank in a series of air attacks, bringing the number of extrajudicial killing operations launched since September 2000 to at least 256, killing at least 612 Palestinians; and calls upon the Government to apply what pressure it can to ensure Israel ceases these extrajudicial killings which have become symbolic of its disregard for international law in Articles 6 and 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
Signatures by party: Labour 40, Liberal Democrat 14, Plaid Cymru 3, Independent 2, Conservative 1, Independent Labour 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
