Liberal Party NEC Statement - The Ongoing Conflict in Gaza
#1
The Liberal Party observes with increasing concern the impending Israeli military assault on the city of Rafah in southern Gaza and the increasing desperate plight of the Palestinian population.
 
After four months of hostilities in Gaza, triggered by the deplorable Hamas attack of the 7th October, the Israeli counter offensive has been reduced the civilian infrastructure including hospitals, to a state of collapse and the civilian population to the verge of starvation.
 
As the focus of Israeli action has switched from the north to the south of Gaza increasing numbers of Palestinian civilians have found themselves driven before the fighting with over half of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants driven into the area in and around Rafah.
 
The Liberal Party believes a cessation of hostilities leading to a permanent ceasefire, exchange of hostage and prisoners and a resumption of humanitarian aid must be an international priority.
 
Both Israel and the Palestinians have the right to self-determination and security within their own states which is not advanced nor secured by the continued brutal campaign in Gaza.
