Suspension Of Eu Aid To Palestine (EDM343)

Suspension Of Eu Aid To Palestine

EDM number 343 in 2006-07, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 29/11/2006.

That this House notes the decision of the European Union to withhold funding to the Palestinian Authority; recognises that this decision, together with both the Israeli government's regular closure of trade routes in and out of Gaza, and similar funding decisions taken by the United States, Japanese and Canadian governments gravely threatens the health and well-being of the Palestinian people, and quite possibly the jobs of approximately 150,000 Palestinian employees who have in total an estimated seven dependants per employee; expresses its opposition to this act of collective punishment against the already impoverished Palestinian people in contravention of international human rights conventions; and calls upon the Government to work with EU and national governments for the immediate reinstatement of funding, as well as for the return of the withheld revenues collected by the Israeli government which belong to the Palestinian people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
