That the Parliament believes that a company's involvement in illegal Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian Territories constitutes grave professional misconduct and should, as a result, automatically disqualify that company, together with any parent company or subsidiary, from eligibility for public procurement and all forms of support from the Scottish Government; recognises, however, that any such decisions must be taken in accordance with the current legal framework, noting that trade sanctions, foreign policy, export controls and economic sanctions remain reserved to the UK Government; urges the Scottish Government to continue to engage with the UK Government on the recently announced package of measures, including sanctions; reiterates its call on the UK Government to place an immediate ban on licenced arms exports from the UK to Israel; reaffirms its support for humanitarian access as well as lasting peace through a two-state solution; also reaffirms its commitment to the international rules-based system and international humanitarian law; notes the actions being progressed by the UK Government in relation to illegal settlements, including an import ban on settlement goods, sanctions against individuals, an advertising ban and arms export restrictions; calls on the Scottish and UK governments to consider what further actions they can take to secure a lasting peace between the two states of Israel and Palestine and to uphold international law; further believes that public bodies should ensure that all due diligence processes are up to date so that no companies with links to human rights abuses are provided with public funding; recalls that Parliament passed motion S6M-16571 on 26 February 2025, calling on Scottish Enterprise to review its human rights due diligence checks; notes that, since confirming in a GIQ on 25 June 2025 that the review had taken place and that, steps would be taken to implement its findings during 2025-26, no further information has been published, and calls, therefore, on Scottish Enterprise, to update Parliament on progress and whether any new human rights due diligence process has been created as a result of this review.
