The motion

That the Parliament notes the calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and Israel; further notes the condemnation of the loss of life in the most recent conflict, with around 1,400 people reportedly killed in a brutal terrorist attack in Israel on 7 October 2023 and more than 10,000 people reportedly killed in Gaza in the conflict since; deplores all violence in the region; notes the belief that fighting must stop in order to allow diplomatic discussions to take place that will safeguard innocent civilians; further notes the calls on the UK Government, including from communities in the Glasgow Kelvin constituency, to do its part in working with other UN nations to demand an end to deadly military action in Gaza and to bring to justice those responsible for the terror attacks suffered by Israel; believes strongly that there is no justification for inflicting terror or killing innocent civilians, and condemns violence in all its forms.
