Tent of Nations Nassar family farm

That this House notes the long-standing legal efforts of the Nassar family to protect and re-register their family farm, known as Tent of Nations, located south-west of Bethlehem in Area C of the occupied West Bank; recognises the farm’s educational, ecological and peace-building work, including its activities with local women and children and its links with churches, volunteers and visitors from the UK and internationally; further notes that the family’s land has been the subject of legal proceedings over many years, including a 2006 Israeli Supreme Court ruling allowing the re-registration process to proceed; expresses concern at the continued delays in that process, the construction of roads through the family’s land, the development of a nearby outpost, restrictions on access to the farm, surveillance, reports of settler harassment, and the reported military or security use of a road constructed across the family’s private land; believes that the case concerns the protection of private land, freedom of access, due process, the rule of law and the prevention of further escalation; and calls on the Government to continue and, where necessary, strengthen its monitoring of developments affecting Tent of Nations, seek clarification from the Israeli authorities on the timetable for completing the land registration process and on any military or security use of roads crossing the Nassar family’s land, and raise the protection of the family’s land, access and safety with the Israeli authorities.
