Early day motion 855, tabled 11 January 2017 by Mark Durkan (Social Democratic and Labour Party). Signed by 32 members.

That this House welcomes the Government's support for UN Security Council resolution 2334 concerning Israel's illegal settlement building in occupied Palestinian territory; notes clause 5 that resolution text which calls on all states to distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between territory of the state of Israel and the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967; calls on the Government to impose a total ban on trade and imports that are proven to either originate or be tied to Israel's illegal settlements in occupied Jerusalem, the West Bank and Golan heights; and further calls on the Government to ensure that the UK acts in compliance with obligations under relevant international laws and treaties which require the Government, along with all third parties, with specific regard to Israel's illegal settlements, to ensure respect for international law, not recognise an illegal situation arising from such breaches and refrain from any activity that would render aid or assistance to serious breaches of peremptory norms of international law.
