PENDING DEMOLITION OF THE SHAWAMREH FAMILY HOME IN EAST JERUSALEM

Early day motion 1686, tabled 16 June 2009 by Lynne Jones (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House notes that since 1967, the Israeli authorities have demolished more than 24,000 Palestinian homes in the Occupied Territories; further notes the Israeli Supreme Court recently ruled that the home of Salim and Arabiya Shawamreh in Anata, already demolished by the Israeli authorities four times, can be demolished again; applauds the courageous resistance of the Shawamreh family; and calls on the Israeli authorities to grant the Shawamreh family a permit to build and to halt their illegal programme of demolition of Palestinian homes in line with the UN's call for Israel to freeze all pending demolition orders in East Jerusalem.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Respect 1.
