I move amendment No. 3:
To insert the following after "appropriate process to do so and following the necessary legal and policy analysis;" "— appoint a senior team of legal officials chaired independently to assess questions of the risk of, and/or ongoing genocide and/or failures to prevent and punish incitement to genocide by Israel and Ireland’s obligations under the Genocide Convention;
— ensure that the above-mentioned assessment will include consideration of Israel’s apparent use of 2,000lb bombs and other explosive weapons in the densely populated areas of Gaza, bearing in mind Ireland’s leadership on this specific issue internationally;
— examine the question of Israel’s compliance with the EU-Israel Agreement as part of the above-mentioned assessment;
— acknowledge South Africa’s use of the ICJ to determine questions of compliance with the Genocide Convention is appropriate;".
