ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF THE GOLAN HEIGHTS

Early day motion 2216, tabled 22 March 2019 by Richard Burden (Labour). Signed by 34 members.

That this House reiterates its support for the long-held international position that Israel is in occupation of the Golan Heights and has been for nearly 52 years; notes that such an occupation should be temporary and that all Israeli settlements there are illegal under international law; urges the UK Government and European partners to oppose the new position of the US Government recognising the Golan as Israeli territory; and calls on the UK Government to reiterate the vital nature of the land-for-peace formula based on UN Security Council Resolution 242 and the UN Security Council Resolution 497 of 1981 calling on Israel to rescind its illegal annexation to be implemented.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Scottish National Party 6, Labour/Co-operative 3, Plaid Cymru 3, Conservative 1, Green 1, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
