DEMOLITIONS IN EAST JERUSALEM

Early day motion 2640, tabled 23 July 2019 by Wes Streeting (Labour). Signed by 60 members.

That this House condemns the demolition of Palestinian buildings in the Sur Baher neighbourhood in East Jerusalem; notes that this is an area under the control of the Palestinian Authority under the Oslo Accords; further notes that these demolitions have been condemned by the EU, UN and both Israeli and Palestinian human rights organisations; believes that such demolitions set back the prospects for peace and a two-state solution; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to condemn these demolitions and make representations to the Government of Israel to cease these demolitions immediately.
