Stop relations with Israel, Todde on the motion in the Council: «Solidarity is no longer enough»

"The most recent acts of the conflict have worsened an already dramatic humanitarian situation - reads a note from Sinistra Futura - The number of victims has exceeded 60,000 people, with over 120,000 injured, thousands of whom are children. Sardinia, due to its geographical position, history and tradition of hospitality, cannot stand by and watch. We want to do our part with a perspective of peace that puts an end to the massacre of too many civilians".

The motion commits President Todde to "firmly condemn the violations of human rights and international law by the State of Israel, against the Palestinian civilian population, in particular the use of hunger, disease and impediment to humanitarian aid as instruments of war". And again, to "interrupt any relationship of cooperation, exchange or shared planning between the Sardinia Region (including agencies, instrumental bodies, participating companies, academic and research institutions) and the State of Israel, as long as the serious violations ascertained by international institutions continue". To "actively support any international initiative aimed at obtaining a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and promoting a peace conference in the Mediterranean, also by nominating Sardinia as the host location".

It also provides for the Region to commit to restore the funds dedicated to international cooperation and to establish a specific line of intervention aimed at Palestine . Finally, it is requested to verify in the calls for tenders and in the stipulation of public contracts the presence of goods or services produced by companies involved in the violation of human rights in the territories occupied by Israel and consequently prohibit their purchase.

The document will now have to be placed on the agenda and examined in the Chamber.
