ETHNIC CLEANSING OF BEDOUIN PEOPLE IN ISRAEL

That this House condemns the vote by the government of Israel on the First Reading of the Prawer Plan which provides a blueprint for the removal of 40,000 Bedouin people from their ancestral homeland; regards such a decision to be ethnic cleansing and contrary to international law; and calls on the Government to make immediate representations to the government of Israel, and to seek the support of member states of the European Union, the United States and the United Nations in putting pressure on Israel not to proceed with an act of gross violation of the rights of a significant number of those whom it has a legal responsibility to protect.
