That this Council

Believes that there must be recognition of the rights of Palestinians to their own state,

Notes that 138 nations of the UN, out of 193 (71.5%), recognise Palestine as a state and in 2012 the UN General Assembly moved to do so - though this was blocked from full UN membership by the Security Council;

Notes that the current UK Government appears to have no intention of recognising Palestine, and notes that this is in contrast to the Labour Party’s commitment to recognise Palestine as a full state as part of the United Nations and under UK law;

Believes that the recognition of Palestine as a state is one step towards a genuine peaceful solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict;

Believes there has to be a peace process and there has to be a right of the Palestinian people to live in peace and security with equal rights to all religions and ethnic peoples;

Believes that whilst Luton is just one town, it is important to make this symbolic gesture to formally recognise Palestine as a full state, and hope that this will increase pressure on the UK Government to do likewise; and

Requests that this Motion is submitted to the Foreign Office, the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition.
