I ask the Deputy to move the amendment formally. I understand he is happy with the first part of the motion, which reads:

That the Foreign Affairs Committee condemns the proposed demolition and transfer of the inhabitants of the Bedouin village of Susiya in the Israeli settlement of the West Bank. Forcible transfer of the protected population is prohibited according to Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention and is considered to be a grave breach of international humanitarian law according to Article 147 of the Convention.

I will bring in Senator Daly and anyone else who wants to come in on the amendment after it has been moved.
