Israeli Government Withdraws Hebron Task Force
The motion
That the Parliament notes with concern the decision by the Israeli Government to withdraw the mandate of the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), which is the observatory task force that has been monitoring the divided West Bank city of Hebron for more than 20 years; understands that the TIPH assumed its duties in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 904, which was submitted to guarantee the safety and protection of Palestinian civilians in the occupied territories; believes that correspondence from the Hebron Municipality indicates that the withdrawal of the TIPH has resulted in an increase in the frequency of violations and harassment of Palestinian civilians living in the H2 area of the city, and calls on the Israeli Government to reverse this decision and to resume the mandate for the TIPH to provide safety and protection for the Palestinian population.
