In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 3 with the following paragraph:
"The Assembly voices its sorrow at the staggering number of innocent casualties in the Gaza Strip and condemns the disproportionate nature of the Israeli response to the terrorist attack on 7 October. The Assembly also realises that, to many, the displacement of 85% of Gaza’s population, caused by the present war, has revived memories of the Nakba."
Explanatory note
The condemnations must be balanced between the attack on 7 October and the disproportionate response. The remark about the number of displaced persons is mentioned in another amendment: we can quantify it.

In the draft resolution, before paragraph 4, insert the following paragraph:
"The already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza has been exacerbated by the Israeli strikes on Gaza, and by Israeli restrictions on access to the area, including on convoys transporting humanitarian aid, food, medicines and fuel which were supposed to reach those in need several weeks ago. Today, hundreds of thousands of people are in mortal danger because of the rising risk of famine."
Explanatory note
In the interests of balance, the report would do well to name the parties responsible for the humanitarian situation. The addition concerning famine is important because of the situation.

In the draft resolution, paragraph 5, third sentence, replace the words "hundreds of Palestinians have been arrested on security grounds" with the following words:
"thousands of Palestinians have been arrested".
Explanatory note
Delete "on security grounds". This is much more complex than this statement, which accepts the Israeli arguments criticised by many international organisations. The figure is 5 000 (so not hundreds but thousands).

Explanatory note
Many Palestinians in our member States have and have lost loved ones in Gaza and are experiencing the current situation with great psychological distress and anxiety, given the communication outages and the risk their families face. It is therefore appropriate to pay special attention to them.

"lend their full diplomatic support to a two-state solution and the creation of preconditions for a viable and lasting peace in the Middle East, including by cutting all commercial ties with Israeli settlements which are illegal under international law".
