What the debate was about

Auto-generated

We are party to the Genocide Convention, and the Genocide Convention is clear that under the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice, all nations need to do what they can to prevent genocide and to prevent the individual acts that make up a genocide of a people. There have been zero inspections since 2020 of planes, which we know, because they sought exemptions, are carrying weapons, munitions or dangerous goods, and more than 1,000 exemptions were granted in 2023 alone.

This legislation would ensure there are no more such exemptions on flights either bringing these dangerous goods and weapons directly to Israel or bringing them to or from the countries supplying arms to Israel.
