‘the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on 7 October 2023, the killing of civilians, and the continued holding of hostages, and appeals for their immediate and unconditional release; reaffirms that all civilian life, whether Palestinian or Israeli, is of equal value and must be protected under international law; deplores the obstruction of humanitarian aid and the targeting of civilian infrastructure, journalists, medical personnel and humanitarian workers; opposes Iran’s destabilising role in the region through its sponsorship of terrorist groups; recognises Israel’s right to defend itself, but expresses grave concern that the scale and conduct of its military campaign in Gaza has caused levels of destruction and civilian casualties that may constitute breaches of international humanitarian law, particularly the principles of necessity, distinction, proportionality and humanity; rejects any form of collective punishment, including the denial of access to food, water, medical care and essential services, and further opposes any forced displacement of the Gaza population; supports the urgent establishment of UN-led humanitarian corridors and medical access; and calls on the UK Government to take all necessary diplomatic steps to secure a swift and sustained ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages, unrestricted humanitarian access, and to support renewed efforts towards a two-state solution in which both Israel and Palestine can exist in peace and security.’
