Ending the Illegal Occupation of Palestine

Lodged by James Dornan Members' Business Motion 15 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas on 21 May 2021; condemns all loss of innocent life in Gaza, the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel; notes the view that the international community must seek to address the root causes of the conflict by calling for an end to the occupation of Palestine, the end to the expansion of illegal settlements, the end of the blockade of Gaza and reversing what it sees as the systemic erosion of the rights of the Palestinian people; recognises that thousands of people in Scotland, including from Glasgow Cathcart, have taken to the streets to protest the bombardment of Gaza, which it considers to be the world’s largest man-made prison; notes calls for Israel to fully participate in the investigation by the International Criminal Court into possible war crimes, and acknowledges the view that that peace talks based on a two-state solution will resume as a matter of urgency
