Gaza: Motion (28 May 2025)

Seán Crowe: Israel's Government is starving the people of Gaza. Starvation is being used as a weapon of war. It is a crime against humanity. It is genocide.

Restrictive Financial Measures (State of Israel) Bill 2025: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 May 2025)

Gaza: Statements (21 May 2025)

Seán Crowe: Looking at what happened to an ambulance and all its crew travelling through Gaza, I wonder what the response of the IDF would be to an humanitarian corridor, but everything needs to be tried.
