There is no reason the Government should not send a clear and unequivocal message to Israel that it is not going to buy and sell military equipment with a country that is massacring civilians and enforcing an illegal and brutal occupation on millions of Palestinians. We should encourage other countries to follow suit.

The President of the State of Palestine has called on the United Nations to declare Gaza a disaster zone. The Government should support this call. I respectfully request that when the Minister is in conversation with UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon that he support it.
