Motion 111
Palestine
“That this Congress condemns the Israeli State for its crime of extermination and acts of genocide in Gaza.
“Congress acknowledges that, one year since its support for the General Council statement, the Israel Government has escalated military action in the Occupied West Bank, Yemen, Lebanon and Syria.
“Congress gathers after the election of a UK Labour Government, a Government unwilling to halt arms sales to Israel, unwilling to support the ICC in its prosecution of International Law and unwilling to recognise the State of Palestine.
“Congress calls for a public enquiry into the UK Government’s continued support, both political and military, of the Israeli State’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
“Congress calls on the UK Government to:
- deny an export licence to any piece of British manufactured equipment or component which could contribute to the Israeli State’s continuing genocide of the civilian population and wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza;
- expel the Israeli Ambassador to the UK;
- join South Africa’s Genocide case against the Israeli State at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, as Ireland has done; and
- officially recognise the State of Palestine.”
