MPs Holly Lynch, Lilian Greenwood, Graham Jones, Chris Elmore and Julie Elliott have written to Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt urging him to intervene on the decision by Airbnb and other such sites to continue listing in illegal Israeli settlements. They visited Palestine on a delegation with Caabu and Medical Aid for Palestinians in September 2017.
An Early Day Motion (EDM) has been tabled on 30 April 2019 on the illegal annexation of Occupied Palestinian and Syrian territories by Israel. The EDM's primary sponsor was Andy Slaughter MP (Labour) and co-sponsored by Sir Nicholas Soames MP (Conservative), Lisa Nandy MP (Labour), Alistair Carmichael MP (Liberal Democrat), Richard Burden MP (Labour) and Tommy Sheppard MP (SNP). The EDM states:
Caabu would like to invite you to an event in parliament with Dr Michael Willis on Algeria's mass protest movement: a peaceful revolution for a second republic?
Caabu welcomes the fact that the UK Government has reiterated its support for Omar Shakir and Human Rights Watch and is against the deportation of him by Israel. In International Development Questions on 1 May 2019, International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt said that she was "very happy to echo" the statement from 27 EU states (minus Hungary) at the UN Security Council on 29 April 2019, which "urged Israel to allow Mr. Shakir and Human Rights Watch to continue their human rights advocacy work unimpeded."
Caabu welcomes the letter from 37 former European leaders and foreign ministers on US policy and the Trump plan, which they argue would be one-sided against and detrimental to the Palestinians.
