Awdah Hathaleen

That this House condemns the killing of Palestinian teacher and activist Awdah Hathaleen, who was shot dead on 28 July 2025 by Israeli settler Yinon Levi in the village of Umm al-Khair; deplores the release of his killer despite clear video evidence proving that he is the murderer; further condemns the Israeli authorities’ obstruction of his funeral and the wider pattern of impunity granted to violent settlers; stands in solidarity with Palestinians facing dispossession and intimidation in the occupied West Bank; notes with concern that under President Trump, Yinon Levi was removed from the US sanctions list; calls for the Government to work with their US counterparts to have Yinon Levi reinstated to the sanction list; and further calls on the Government to demand justice for Mr Hathaleen, to hold those responsible to account, and to press for an immediate end to illegal settlement expansion and settler violence.
