DUMPING OF ISRAELI WASTE IN THE WEST BANK

Early day motion 798, tabled 15 January 2018 by Grahame Morris (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House expresses deep concern over the allegations raised by the human rights organisation B'Tselem that Palestinian land in the West Bank is being used for the treatment of Israeli waste, including hazardous waste; notes that Israel is using the occupation of the Palestinian Territories to deny the Palestinian people dignity and is putting Palestinian residents health at risk; further notes that the exploitation of the occupied territories is illegal under international law; and calls for an immediate end to this unjust practice and for steps to be taken to prevent waste treatment facilities being operated by Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
