Parliament’s Palestine Caucus to submit motion on Gaza genocide for debate

On October 7, Malaysia's Parliament's Palestine Caucus intends to introduce a motion concerning the Gaza conflict for debate during the upcoming parliamentary session. Caucus Chairman Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh stated that the proposed motion would advocate for a permanent cease-fire, safeguarding civilians, and unhindered access to humanitarian aid for Palestinians.

Syed Ibrahim emphasized rejecting forced displacement, affirming Palestinian self-determination, and supporting the work of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Additionally, the Caucus aims to enhance diplomatic efforts by scrutinizing military aid and arms transfers that could potentially violate international law.

The Caucus also seeks to develop a framework for Gaza's recovery, concentrating on healthcare, education, child rehabilitation, and Palestinian-led reconstruction. Syed Ibrahim called for ample time to hold a meaningful debate and involve MPs from various political parties. The Caucus encourages public participation in their Three-Year Commemoration of the Gaza Genocide event, scheduled for this Friday from 2pm to 5pm.
