Two lives have been lost, too 6 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: many people have been traumatized, polarized and embittered, ensuring that 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 2: yet another generational was ready. And Palestinian children born into 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: a situation have been sufferable conflict and enmity. That is 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: why and Zeeland has come together with foreign ministers from 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 2: twenty seven other countries to state as curly as we 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 2: can that enough is enough, that this war must end, 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: now that this suffering is intolerable. 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: Cloe Straubert Ring Party colid with me this morning, Chloe, 14 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: good morning.

What else? 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 3: The Foreign Minister has been calling for a cease fire 17 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: for the better part of two years, but Ryan, at 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 3: the end of the day, Palestinians can't eat, and right 19 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 3: now the blockade on Gaza is starving, actively starving. The 20 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,559 Speaker 3: people of Palestine. Look We've had Holocaust scholars and survivors, 21 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: We've had Human Rights Watch, United Nations, Entities, Amnesty International, 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: all of which have said that what is unfolding before 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 3: our very eyes is a genocide. Then we have the 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 3: horrific videos livestream to our phones twenty four to seven, 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: and as schools, hospitals are being bombed and eight hundred 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 3: people have been murdered in the last two months, lighting 27 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: up for food. I think the absolute bare minimum that 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 3: any of us can accept from our so called representatives 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: and leaders is put substance behind their words. 30 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: So stratifically, what specific sanctions are you talking about, because 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: we've got sanctions travel bands against a couple of members 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: of ntnyah's cabinet. But what specifically else would you like? 33 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: So we can copy the exact same frameworks that we 34 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 3: did with the Russia's Sanctions Act, where you'll recall that 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: our Parliament acted within just a few weeks of Russia's 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 3: unlawful invasion into an occupation of Ukraine and sanctioned Russia autonomously. 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: That's the reason that I took the parallel approach with 38 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: the sanctions Bill. With the unawful occupation of Palestine, Sanctions 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 3: Bill which actually would implement a put some substance behind 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 3: the words that we signed up to in September of 41 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 3: last year when we joined with one hundred and twenty 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 3: three other Member states to support the United Nations General 43 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: Assembly effectively to back up the advisory opinion from the ICJ, 44 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: the International Court of Justice in a nutshell, Ryan, we 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: have seen other countries also move to do this, yes, 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: spaceic sanctions. That Ireland has done this, we saw, we 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 3: saw just last week that twelve countries came together to 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 3: do the same and Bogata. So we need some action 49 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 3: behind words. All those words are just empty. 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: We appreciate your time.
