Tell President Obama to support UN Security Council Resolution on Israeli Settlements
Tell the President to join the international community in reaffirming that Israeli settlements are illegal, are a major obstacle to peace, and should be halted immediately and completely.
Call the President today in support of a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
The UN Security Council may consider tomorrow (Friday, February 18) a resolution:
• reaffirming the illegality of Israeli settlements in Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967,
• naming settlements as an obstacle to peace,
• demanding that Israel cease all settlement activity including in East Jerusalem,
• calling on both parties to act on the basis of international law and previous agreements,
• calling on all parties to continue negotiations on final status issues, and
• urging intensified efforts to invigorate the peace process.
The proposed resolution draws on language form previous Security Council resolutions and is consistent with United States policies. Our support for this resolution encourages the Obama administration to reaffirm these positions.From the Office of Public Witness — Ministries & Programs — GAMC.
