Israeli Raid in Jenin
The motion
That the Parliament notes with concern reports that Israeli forces have killed at least nine Palestinians, including one elderly woman, and injured several others in a raid in the city of Jenin on 26 January 2023; condemns Israeli forces for their alleged use of teargas within a children’s ward of a hospital in the West Bank; understands that the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank already in 2023 has now risen to 29 as a result of this attack; is concerned that 2022 was reportedly the deadliest year in Palestine since UN records began, with, it believes, over 150 civilians killed by Israeli forces, and recognises that, if the current rate of what it sees as Israeli massacres in the territory continue, 2023 will overtake 2022 as the deadliest year on record.
