I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
supports the right of parliamentarians to freely pursue their duties;
(b)
notes the opposition of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the European Parliament and the New Zealand Parliament to Israel’s arrest of more than 20 members of the Palestinian Parliament; and
(c)
calls for the immediate and unconditional release of the Palestinian Speaker, the Deputy Prime Minister and the other arrested ministers and members of the Palestinian Parliament.

Question put.
