The motion

That the Parliament recognises the hard work of the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) Scotland, which, with partners across the trade union movement, and with the support of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Scottish Trades Union Congress, has delivered training for over 100 Palestinian firefighters in Scotland; notes that FBU Scotland has previously delivered essential equipment to Palestine, such as fire appliances and firefighting kits; further notes that the union is currently delivering another fire appliance to the Nablus Municipality Fire Department, and that this appliance, which is supplied with essential equipment, is being transported to the Israeli port of Ashdod; calls for the safe passage of the lifesaving equipment; expresses hope that the organisations in Palestine will safely collect this humanitarian donation, and commends the important and life-saving work that these efforts will provide.
