Gaza Ceasefire
That this Assembly agrees that apartheid Israel is engaged in a genocide in Gaza; notes that at least 35,000 of Palestinians have been killed, including over 12,000 children, with many more seriously injured and traumatised; recognises that some two million people are displaced and face a catastrophic humanitarian crisis with forced famine conditions; expresses disgust at the level of collective punishment inflicted on the people of Gaza by Israel and commends the mass movement that has erupted across Ireland against the violence in recent months; affirms its support for a ceasefire, the boycott divestment and the sanctions campaign, for expulsion of Israeli ambassadors from Britain and Ireland, for Israel to be held accountable by international bodies for war crimes and genocide, and for Palestinian self-determination; further recognises and condemns the fact that Israel has bombed Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, Iran and Yemen with the complete backing of western governments in the US, Britain and elsewhere; further agrees that Israel's murderous campaign is highly dependent on the military, financial and political support of President Biden and the US government in particular; agrees that the Biden administration has immorally opposed calls for a humanitarian ceasefire, systematically repeated Israeli war propaganda and that President Biden has personally bypassed Congress to transfer arms to Israel during the genocidal war that will cause widespread death and suffering in Gaza; and calls on Israel and its allies to urgently de-escalate what could be a wider regional war; and further calls on the First and Deputy First Minister to write to Claire Cronin, US Ambassador to Ireland, David Cameron, UK Foreign Secretary and Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, calling for an immediate suspension of all military, financial, and diplomatic support for apartheid Israel and its genocidal war on Palestine.
