That this House expresses concern that the Israeli Knesset has
passed an amendment to the Entry Into Israel Law 1952 which gives
the Interior Ministry unrestricted powers to revoke the residency
of Palestinian Jerusalemites; condemns any and all violations of
international humanitarian law, specifically the forcible
transfer and deportation of Palestinians from East Jerusalem;
further condemns efforts on the part of the Israeli Government to
solidify a demographic hold over Occupied East Jerusalem;
reaffirms the position that under international law East
Jerusalem remains occupied and that the final status of the city
is to be determined by negotiations; and calls on the Government
to take all positive steps and apply all due diplomatic pressure
to ensure that Israel adheres to its obligations under
international law, which includes the protection of the civilian
population of East Jerusalem and throughout the Occupied
Palestinian Territories.
