Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Martin Linton (Labour), on Tuesday, 1 December 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 73 members in total.
DRAFT EUROPEAN STATEMENT ON EAST JERUSALEM
That this House supports the proposed statement by the Council of the European Union drafted by the Swedish Presidency calling for negotiations on a two-state solution leading to an independent, democratic, contiguous and viable state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital; welcomes the statement's clear reiteration that settlements are illegal under international law, as are the separation barrier on occupied land and the demolition of homes; agrees that all three constitute an obstacle to peace by threatening to make a two-state solution impossible; and asks the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to endorse this document at the meeting in Brussels on 7 December 2009.
