ISRAEL'S VICTORY IN THE SIX DAY WAR

EDM number 1641 in 2006-07, proposed by Andrew Dismore on 06/06/2007.

That this House notes that this week marks the 40th anniversary of the Six Day War of 1967, and Israel's stunning victory against overwhelming odds; recalls that the war was triggered by Egypt's aggressive armed forces build up in Sinai and the closing by Egypt of the Straits of Tiran to Israel, in breach of international law, cutting off Israel's main oil supply route from her major supplier, Iran; remembers that subsequent to the surprise attacks in 1973 on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, and Israel's victory then, a peace agreement was negotiated between President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin between Israel and Egypt, which has proved lasting; recognises Israel's excellent relations with neighbours Jordan; notes that this shows Israel's willingness to trade land for peace; and regrets the inability and unwillingness of Syria and the Palestinians to engage with Israel, to create an equally successful agreement and to bring lasting peace to the region.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
