That this House expresses its concern regarding the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe taking place in Gaza, including the deeply alarming lack of access to mental health services; recognises the enormous importance in ensuring that everyone around the globe has access to high-quality mental health care; notes the destruction of the sole psychiatric hospital in Gaza in 2023 and acknowledges reports earlier this year that all remaining mental health facilities are either destroyed or no longer functional; urges the Government to sanction Prime Minister Netanyahu and his cabinet for their continued military campaign in Gaza and refusal to comprehensively lift the aid blockade and alleviate the humanitarian disaster; further urges the Government to immediately ban the export of all UK weapons to Israel, including component parts for F-35 fighter jets; and urges the Government to immediately and unconditionally recognise the state of Palestine.
