IMPACT OF ISRAEL'S SEPARATION WALL ON JERUSALEM

EDM number 613 in 2005-06, proposed by John Austin on 19/07/2005.

That this House condemns the continued construction of Israel's separation barrier built on occupied territory; is gravely concerned by the newly approved route, as of 10th July, which will separate Jerusalem from the West Bank and divide Bethlehem; notes with alarm that this may prejudice Final Status negotiations over the status of Jerusalem; further notes that this section of the wall, due for completion by the end of the year, will have a hugely detrimental impact by isolating at least 55,000 Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem from basic services and the rest of the city; further notes that this decision coincides with the first anniversary of the International Court of Justice's (ICJ) ruling on Israel's separation barrier on 9th July 2004, which states the illegality of the barrier where built on Occupied Territory and calls for it to be dismantled; and reiterates the urgent call on the Government to abide by its obligations under the ICJ ruling and, as a High Contracting Party of the Fourth Geneva Convention, to ensure Israel's compliance with international law.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs.
