Lodged by John Finnie Standard Motion 0 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament deplores the reported recent change in the United States' official policy on Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land; believes that the new policy contradicts international law; understands that it is not within the power of the US Secretary of State to unilaterally change international law; considers that United States' support for Israel in the past has not brought stability to the region; believes that this change will serve as a barrier to achieving peace and justice, and expresses its solidarity with the people of Palestine.
