Deputy Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that yesterday, 11 November 2009, marked the fifth anniversary of the passing away of the great Palestinian leader, the late chairman Yasser Arafat;
2) further notes that 29 November was declared by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Day of Solidarity with Palestinian People in 1977;
3) believes that only a just solution that takes into consideration the strengthening of a sovereign, independent Palestinian state, co- existing alongside Israel will help to bring peace to the region and put an end to the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis;
4) acknowledges the government's resolve to encourage an inclusive peaceful process leading to a negotiated settlement between the parties concerned; and
5) welcomes the efforts aimed at engaging all parties in Israel and Palestine to find an amicable resolution to the solving of the Palestinian question and peace in the Middle East, and therefore the fulfilment of the aspirations and dreams of the late leader of the Palestinian people, Yasser Arafat: A dream to which he dedicated his entire life.
Agreed to.
