Motion text

That this House welcomes the independent UN Commission of Inquiry report on protests in Gaza; notes with the deepest concern its findings that, in its widespread use of force against demonstrators, Israeli security forces committed violations of international law which may constitute war crimes or crimes against humanity; condemns the prevailing impunity for the killing and injuring of medics, journalists, children, and persons who pose no imminent threat of death or serious injury to those around them; further notes with concern the finding that, while the protests were civilian in nature, the de-facto authorities in Gaza encouraged or defended the use of incendiary kites and balloons which caused damage and fear in southern Israel; and calls on the Government to support the Commission's report at the Human Rights Council and do its part in implementing the report's recommendations relating to preventing future violations, ensuring accountability, and lifting the blockade and closure of Gaza.
