I move amendment No. 1:

To delete all the words after "agrees to:" and substitute the following: "— insist on an immediate ceasefire and full, safe, and unhindered humanitarian access to Gaza and support the UN in their efforts to increase the flow of humanitarian goods into Gaza;

— support any decision of the ICJ on preliminary measures, which are final and binding on the parties concerned, and urge all parties to the Genocide Convention to also do so;

— make an intervention in the South Africa v Israel case at the ICJ, as a matter of urgency after the Court has made its order on preliminary measures and the filing by South Africa of its memorial in the case, which is the only appropriate process to do so and following the necessary legal and policy analysis;

— continue to underline the independence and impartiality of the ICC and to support its work; insist that all States, whether they are parties to the Rome Statute or not, cooperate with the ICC investigation into the situation in Palestine and Israel; and

— drive efforts at European Union level to institute a sanctions regime against violent settlers in the West Bank who are attacking and displacing Palestinian communities, differentiating between Israel itself and the illegal settlements that are illegal under international law.".
