Motion (Private Members' Motion): End Israeli Impunity in Gaza

That this Assembly condemns the ongoing genocide in Gaza that has killed over 50,000, according to figures published by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and left many thousands suffering from physical, psychological and emotional wounds; further condemns the use of starvation by Israel as a weapon of war that has left many, particularly children, facing starvation and suffering malnutrition; deplores the targeting of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and schools; further deplores the targeting of journalists, medical staff, paramedics and humanitarian workers; is deeply distressed about the ongoing denial of humanitarian aid to Gaza and the targeting of civilians trying to access aid; commends the efforts to bring aid into Gaza by the Madleen Freedom Flotilla which was illegally boarded and taken over by Israeli forces in international waters; further commends the efforts of Palestinian solidarity groups in Ireland for continuing to raise the plight of the Palestinian people; welcomes the recent decision by third level institutions such as Queen's University Belfast and Trinity College Dublin to divest from Israeli investments; expresses its support for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages and the upholding of human rights and international law; calls on the British Government to immediately suspend all arms sales and transfers to Israel and to recognise the state of Palestine; and further calls on the Irish Government to pass and enact the Occupied Territories Bill in full and put an end to the Central Bank of Ireland facilitating the sale of Israel’s war bonds.
