Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘ongoing’ and insert:
‘war in Gaza that has left thousands of people dead; further condemns the actions of Hamas on October 7th which left 1,300 people dead and many families searching for loved ones; abhors the killing of international humanitarian aid workers seeking to deliver vital supplies to the civilian population on the brink of famine; rejects plans for a ground assault on the city of Rafah with a refugee population of more than 1 million Palestinians sheltering with nowhere safe to go; regrets the failure of the international community to act decisively in the interests of peace; affirms its support for a two-state solution; calls for an immediate sustainable ceasefire in the region and the release of all hostages; further calls on neighbouring countries to deescalate their military posturing allowing for meaningful space to be created in order to deliver a lasting long term solution for the whole region’
