In the draft resolution, after paragraph 11.1, insert the following paragraph:

"guarantee assistance and psychological support to Palestinian nationals on their territory, with particular attention to asylum seekers and nationals with family ties to Gaza."

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.
