Jerusalem: from Past Divisions to a Shared Future? Jerusalem: From Past Divisions to a Shared Future? Balfour The Case for Equal Rights Souvenir Booklet from our Online Conference Held on 27th October 2020 Project Statement: Israel/Palestine: Equal Rights for lasting Peace The Balfour Project issued this statement at the end of the conference, signed by British Parliamentarians and Faith leaders, to be conveyed to the Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary. We acknowledge Britain’s historic responsibilities for inequality and discrimination in Jerusalem and across the Holy Land. They stem from the last century, through the Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate for Palestine, with consequences which are still felt today. Past British responsibility for present injustice demands British commitment to work urgently for a better future, respecting equal rights. With British assistance, the Jewish people exercised their right to self-determination in the Holy Land more than 70 years ago. To this day, the Palestinian people are denied this right. This injustice must end. The future of Jerusalem is crucial to peace between Israelis and Palestinians, and between Israel and the Arab and Muslim worlds. The recent normalisation of relations between Israel and some Arab Gulf states is no substitute for a lasting peace founded on broad popular consent from Israelis and Palestinians. Sharing Jerusalem is essential to gain that consent. Palestinians and Israelis will share the Holy Land forever, and must shape its future together. Only equality will bring safety and well-being, and essential dialogue. The two peoples, alone, have not attained peaceful coexistence. So, for the good of both, and if we truly mean what we say, we in Britain must help reverse current negative developments which only entrench separation and inequality. Civil society, including faith leaders, in the U.K., the rest of Europe and the USA, has a vital role in making that change happen. We call upon the British Government now to take the following five measures: – Reaffirm publicly East Jerusalem’s status under international law as occupied Palestinian territory and oppose current systematic efforts to undermine this status; – Press for true freedom of access for all believers – Jewish, Muslim and Christian– to their respective holy sites in Jerusalem: especially Jews to the Western Wall, Christians to the Holy Sepulchre, Muslims to al Aqsa Mosque, from wherever they live; – Work effectively to uphold the rule of law reflected in UN Security Council Resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334, which condemns illegal Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied Palestinian Territory; – Insist that Israel end forthwith its discriminatory practices in Jerusalem, enabling all Jerusalemites to enjoy the same rights and services, regardless of creed or nationality; and – Recognise the State of Palestine alongside the State of Israel, with Jerusalem as the shared capital of both states. We seek a future of equal rights and peaceful coexistence between the peoples of Israel and Palestine in two states along the pre-1967 Green Line. Crucially, the wellbeing and security of both peoples in those states will grow with equality. We seek the Peace of Jerusalem. 27 October 2020 The conference is free, but please consider a donation to help us keep going www.peoplesfundraising.com/balfour-project Balfour Project is a Scottish Registered Charity (SC 047090) Signatories Tahir Ali MP Rt Reverend Declan Lang, Catholic Bishop of Clifton, Rt Hon Lord Anderson of Ipswich Chair of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference Department of Claudia Beamish, Member of the Scottish International Affairs Parliament Carolyn Lawrence, Vice-President of the Methodist Clive Betts MP Conference, Methodist Church in Britain Rt Hon Baroness Tessa Blackstone Rt Hon Tony Lloyd MP Crispin Blunt MP Most Hon the Marquess of Lothian Rt Hon Ben Bradshaw MP Caroline Lucas MP Alan Brown MP Kenny MacAskill MP Richard Burden Seema Malhotra MP Wendy Chamberlain MP Imam Ajmal Masroor Joanna Cherry QC MP Very Reverend Dr Andrew McLellan, former Moderator Rt Reverend Christopher Chessun, Bishop of of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland Southwark, Church of England Lead Bishop for Pauline McNeill, Member of the Scottish Parliament International Affairs Carol Monaghan MP Daisy Cooper MP James Graham, Duke of Montrose Rt Hon Lord Cope of Berkeley Layla Moran MP Neil Coyle MP John Nicolson MP Rt Hon Ed Davey MP, Leader, Liberal Democrats Lord Jonny Oates Wayne David MP, Shadow Minister for the Middle Rt Reverend Dr Joanna Penberthy, Bishop of St Davids East Rt Reverend John Pritchard, former Bishop of Oxford Most Reverend John Davies, Archbishop of Wales Yasmin Qureshi MP Martyn Day MP Andrew Selous MP Allan Dorans MP Tommy Sheppard MP Julie Elliott MP (Co chair of the All Party Andy Slaughter MP Parliamentary Group on Palestine) Rt Hon Sir Nicholas Soames Rt Reverend Dr Martin Fair, Moderator of the Rt Hon Jack Straw General Assembly of the Church of Scotland Rev Richard Teal, President of the Methodist John Finnie, Member of the Scottish Parliament Conference, Methodist Church in Britain Patrick Grady MP Rt Hon Lord Wallace of Saltaire Rt Hon Dominic Grieve QC Rt Hon Lord Norman Warner Rt Hon Lord Bruce Grocott Rt Hon Baroness Sayeeda Warsi (Co chair of the All Party Rt Hon Lord Peter Hain Parliamentary Group on Palestine) Lord Hannay of Chiswick Sandra White, Member of the Scottish Parliament Neale Hanvey MP Dr Philippa Whitford MP Wera Hobhouse MP Munira Wilson MP Baroness Sheila Hollins Lord Wood of Anfield Rt Hon Baroness Meral Hussein-Ece Lord Raymond Hylton Lord Michael Jay This statement reflects the views of the Balfour Project Rt Hon David Jones MP and the signatories listed above.

Being able to access freely its holy places is for them of paramount importance. And, for Palestinians, East Jerusalem must be the MISSION STATEMENT capital of their future state.

As Sharif of Mecca and King of Hejaz, my great-grandfather Sharif Hussein presided over the principal routes of pilgrimage… respect for each other's Holy Places was ingrained in a tradition of hospitality and watering and sanctuary. This hereditary duty directly links Mecca with the Glorious Esplanade and the Holy sites. Even now the holiness of the city does not ensure an agreed solution for its future. Only the legal arguments offer a dispassionate, neutral route out of the labyrinth, a counterbalance to the partisan nature of the political polemic and the dogmatic quality of so much of the religious debate.

    HENRY SMITH MP HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA Rt Hon Rishi Sunak MP Chancellor of the Exchequer HM Treasury 1 Horse Guards Road London SW1A 2HQ 13th July 2021 Dear Chancellor We are writing to you as a group of cross-party MPs and Peers to urge you to extend the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme for workers in the aviation, travel and tourism industries until March 2022 in order to prevent significant job losses when the scheme is due to close in September. As you will know, our aviation, travel and tourism sectors were the first to be impacted as a consequence of COVID-19, with passenger numbers collapsing from March 2020 and with recovery likely to take a number of years, these will also be one of the last sectors to recover. The consequences on our aviation, travel and tourism sectors have been devastating, with businesses seeing little or no revenue for over fifteen months, significant job losses and the risk of business failure remaining a real risk. However, with the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme due to close in September, we run the very real risk of a major jobs crisis in the industry. The latest ONS statistics show that 57% of employees in passenger air transport and 51% of those employed by travel agency and tour operators remain on furlough. With a lost summer season coming on top of the worst fifteen months in the history of UK aviation, without the continuing support of the CJRS the risk of significant redundancies will become a stark and devastating reality.

  • Future of Aviation All-Party Parliamentary Group
    HENRY SMITH MP HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SW1A 0AA Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 20th January 2021 Dear Prime Minister We are writing to you following your announcement suspending all travel corridors and the introduction on further restrictions for people arriving in the UK to call for a comprehensive ‘Aviation, Travel and Tourism Recovery Package’. This was sadly a necessary measure to tackle a serious health emergency and protect the UK from the spread of new variants of COVID-19. It will however cause the effective end of all international travel and is a devastating blow to the aviation, travel, and tourism industries, those working in the sector and the communities who depend on them. These have been amongst the hardest hit of our economy and have suffered unprecedented losses, with passenger numbers at historically low levels even during the peak summer season. As an island nation, our aviation, travel, and tourism sectors are integral to our economy and are major employers throughout the UK. They will also be a vital part of our economic recovery from the pandemic when it is safe to do so. It is therefore essential that action is taken now to provide further protection for these businesses, their supply chains, employees, and communities. We therefore urge you to work with all in and associated with these industries to introduce a full and comprehensive ‘Aviation, Travel and Tourism Recovery Package’ that will provide immediate financial and additional support alongside a pathway to allow aviation to come out of these restrictions when safe to do so.
