Motion text

That this House notes with serious concern reports that, from 31 December 2025, international non-governmental organisations operating in the Occupied Palestinian Territories have been informed that their registrations are due to expire under a newly introduced Israeli registration system, requiring the cessation of activities and the withdrawal of staff within 60 days; understands that at least 35 international humanitarian organisations are affected, including organisations with applications still under consideration; further notes recent actions by the Government of Israel to restrict the work of international humanitarian organisations in the Occupied Palestinian Territories; also notes that legislation passed by the Israeli Knesset is affecting the ability of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to operate, including measures relating to access to utilities, financial services and premises in East Jerusalem; recalls that international humanitarian law requires an occupying power to facilitate the passage of humanitarian assistance; further recalls the provisional measures of the International Court of Justice requiring Israel to enable humanitarian assistance at scale; believes that administrative and regulatory restrictions which impede humanitarian access risk undermining those obligations and the independence of humanitarian action; and calls on the Government, working with international partners and through the United Nations, to support the protection of humanitarian access and the delivery of life-saving assistance to civilians and to take consequential action should this not be afforded.
