Gaza (Humanitarian Aid)
Constitution, External Affairs and Culture, and Parliamentary Business
UN Women’s latest analysis reports that more than 28,000 women and girls have been killed by Israeli forces—that is an average of one every hour. A UN commission has documented Israel’s use of gender-based sexual and reproductive violence as a strategy of war, including attacks on reproductive healthcare facilities. Does the cabinet secretary share my concern that the UK Government’s continued arms exports to Israel, including F-35 components, undermine efforts towards a sustained humanitarian response and de-escalation? Will the Scottish Government reiterate its call for an immediate and unconditional end to those exports, which are being used to commit grave violations against women and girls, as well as all of Gaza’s people?
