THE Welsh Parliament has called for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East.
The motion, which was tabled by Plaid Cymru in the Senedd, urged for an end to “the appalling attacks on innocent civilians”.Several members on Labour’s backbenches spoke out in favour of a ceasefire including Jenny Rathbone, John Griffiths and Carolyn Thomas.It means Keir Starmer continues to come under pressure amid his refusal to call for a ceasefire in Gaza.A total of 24 members of the Senedd voted in favour of the motion, with 19 against and the remaining 13 abstaining.
“It is in that spirit that we sought cross party support for this motion with a clear and unequivocal call for a ceasefire from both sides as a precursor to peace talks, an immediate and lasting end to the violence and death of civilians in Israel and Palestine, and a global effort to ease the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
“Whilst some will doubt the strength of a solitary parliament’s call for a ceasefire, Wales can, in this hour of unimaginable horror, be a small nation making a powerful statement for peace. Meanwhile, the Welsh government’s social justice minister Jane Hutt said in response to the debate that the Senedd was “united in horror at the events which have unfolded in Israel and Gaza over recent weeks”.
