Pat Buckley: The Ombudsman's response is fairly in-depth. I think it will raise a few flags with the petitioners when they get the response to this.

Escalation of Violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Nov 2023)

Pat Buckley: I am going to put a full stop here. It is as simple as this. We have to refer the Israeli Government to the ICC. I ask the Government to withdraw its amendment.
