UK votes AGAINST Israel at the UN: Contact Boris Johnson

Share Tweet Website On Wednesday 29 November the UK supported an anti-Israel resolution at the United Nations that completely undermines the existence of the State of Israel and legitimate rights to the city of Jerusalem.    The adopted resolution on Jerusalem (document A/71/L.22)  was voted in favour by 149 nations, including the United Kingdom. The United States, Canada and, of course, Israel were among the seven nations that voted against it.    CONTACT THE FOREIGN OFFICE (Please add your name) The resolution explained By its terms, the Assembly reiterated its determination that any actions taken by Israel, the “occupying power”, to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Holy City of Jerusalem were illegal and therefore null and void and had no validity whatsoever, and called upon Israel to immediately cease all such illegal and unilateral measures.   The document also referred to a previous 2001 resolution stating that “all legislative and administrative measures and actions taken by Israel, the occupying Power, which have altered or purported to alter the character and status of the Holy City of Jerusalem, in particular the so-called “Basic Law” on Jerusalem and the proclamation of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, were null and void and must be rescinded forthwith”   The resolution also significantly referred to Jerusalem’s Temple Mount only as “Haram al Sharif”, hereby denying the Jewish connection.  Firstly, Israel is NOT the occupying power - they own the land. Jerusalem IS the capital city of Israel and Israel DOES have jurisdiction over its own capital. Furthermore, the Jewish historical connection to the Temple Mount precedes Islam. The significance In 2017, Israel will be marking 50 years since the reunification of Jerusalem. We also expect moves by the new United States administration to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem. At the same time, we anticipate that Palestinian leadership will be pressuring the international community to further undermine the Jewish connection to Jerusalem.That is why showing your support for Israel and the eternal, undivided capital of Jerusalem is so important. Take action  Please contact Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, expressing your dismay at the UK's decision to vote for this anti-Israel resolution.
