That this House calls upon Her Majesty’s Government to suspend arms trading with Israel in the light of the continued Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands, the intensified repression by Ariel Sharon’s government, the increased illegal settlement activity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and Israel’s continuing violations of UN resolutions; notes that British police forces including the Metropolitan Police are buying Israeli bullets, the Ministry of Defence are about to buy Israeli anti-tank missiles and have purchased grenades, shells and military avionics; and further notes that British military hardware continues to be sold to Israel and used against Palestinians in defiance of UK export criteria.
