Motion 114
Palestine
“That this Congress condemns the serious escalation of Israeli military operations in besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
“The Israeli Government has intensified its brutal attacks on the Palestinian people, subjecting 2.3 million in Gaza to unprecedented bombardment and displacement and the inhumane denial of fuel, water, food and medical supplies.
“Congress condemns the increasingly violent attacks by both the Israeli occupying forces and illegal settlers on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
“Congress calls for an end to Israeli military actions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
“Congress calls on the General Council to continue its support for Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment against Israel to bring it in line with it’s obligations under international law to end the occupation, remove all illegal settlement, abolish discriminatory laws and recognise the Palestinian People’s Right of Return.”
