Early day motion 732, tabled 2 September 2026 by Manuela Perteghella (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 17 members.
That this House notes with deep concern the advancement of the E1 settlement project in the occupied West Bank; believes that continued settlement expansion undermines the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution; reaffirms that Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are considered illegal under international law; further notes ongoing humanitarian suffering in Gaza, restrictions on the delivery of aid, and reports of violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank; welcomes diplomatic efforts aimed at securing peace, security and dignity for both Israelis and Palestinians; and recognises that the United Kingdom has responsibilities under international law and should ensure that its policies are consistent with those obligations.
