Rejected petition Revoke Trump's illegal settlements & the establishing of Jerusalem in Palestine

Israel occupied the eastern part of the city of Jerusalem during the 1967 war and had been illegally settling Jews in the area. The settlements are in contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, which prohibits countries from moving population into territories occupied in a war.

More details

International analyst confirm that the policies of Israel in the occupied territory amounts to apartheid, and this move by the US is clearly a sign that it does not care about the international law.

It encourages the Israeli government and illegal settlers to steal and destroy more Palestinian homes, expropriate more Palestinian land , and revoke the residency rights of more Palestinians for whom Jerusalem is home.

The UK should revoke any illegal settlements in Palestine.
