PALESTINIAN VILLAGE OF SUSIYA- ANNOUNCED DEMOLITION BY ISRAELI AUTHORITIES

Early day motion 616, tabled 29 November 2017 by Ben Lake (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 76 members.

That this House notes with extreme concern the plight of the Palestinian village of Susiya, a fifth of which the Israeli State has announced will be demolished; further notes that the Israeli State claims that this village was constructed in violation of judicial order, yet has repeatedly refused to regulate the land or provide permits; condemns the imminent demolition of these 20 buildings which will leave 100 people, half of them children, without shelter in winter, contrary to Israel's obligations under international law; and urges the Government to condemn the aggressive actions of the Israeli Government and engage in diplomatic talks to achieve peaceful solutions in accordance with international law and the protection of human rights.
