I move:
- That the Senate—
- (a)
- supports the right of parliamentarians to freely pursue their duties;
- (b)
- notes the opposition of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the European Parliament and the New Zealand Parliament to Israel’s arrest of more than 20 members of the Palestinian Parliament; and
- (c)
- calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the Palestinian Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister and the other arrested ministers and members of the Palestinian Parliament.
Question put.
