Today ( November 8), the Welsh Liberal Democrats have backed calls for an immediate ceasefire to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

According to a recent report from the BBC, roughly a third of Senedd members have backed calls to bring an immediate ceasefire to a conflict which has claimed the lives of over 7,000 civilians on both sides.

The Welsh Liberal Democrats are now calling for an immediate ceasefire to the conflict, so that desperately needed medical and food aid is allowed into Gaza.

Commenting, Jane Dodds MS said:

“On behalf of the Welsh Liberal Democrats I would like to join my colleagues in the Senedd in calling for an immediate ceasefire to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

I am very concerned about the further escalation of violence in Gaza and I believe that an immediate ceasefire must be agreed upon so that we can work towards implementing a long-term two state solution.

Innocent civilians, including thousands of children, are being put at risk in a conflict which has already claimed the lives of over 7,000 people.

Now is the time for an immediate ceasefire to the war, so that desperately needed medical and food aid is allowed into Gaza.

The people of Gaza and Israel do not deserve to suffer death and destruction, they deserve a just peace”.
