Motions

Middle East conflict

Aiv PUGLIELLI (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:45): I move, by leave:

That this house:

(1) notes that the state of Israel is being prosecuted in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its potential genocide of the Palestinian people and its occupation of Palestinian territories;

(2) recognises that the ICJ has ordered Israel to take measures to prevent genocide of the Palestinian people and allow the delivery of humanitarian aid to Palestinians;

(3) supports these rulings made by the ICJ; and

(4) notes that despite these rulings, Israel has continued to block aid and indiscriminately bomb the people of Gaza, and in doing so the state of Israel is blatantly disregarding the ICJ’s orders and international law.

Leave refused.
