(C) Chris Dresh. A close up of a great crested newt (not from this visit), floating in grey-ish water. The newt is a vibrant bright orange, with differing sizes and shapes of black spots all over its body except it's orange belly. The tail, like a fish, fans out from the back as a fin and continues up its spine. The newt looks straight to camera, as though it's thinking, 'what are you looking at? Yes, I'm marvellous, I know'.

Tomorrow I'll be speaking in @plaidcymru.bsky.social debate on Gaza where we'll be calling on government to condemn Trump's proposals to depopulate Gaza as ethnic cleansing and to commit further humanitarian support for Gaza. 2/2

The full wording for Plaid Cymru’s motion to Senedd, tabled in the name of Heledd Fychan which proposes that the Senedd:

1. Reaffirms:

a) the Senedd’s condemnation of Hamas’s attacks on Israeli civilians on 7 October 2023 and Israel’s military response, which has led to more than 60,000 Palestinian deaths and left millions of civilians in Gaza in urgent need of humanitarian aid contrary to international law; and

b) the Senedd’s support for a permanent ceasefire, full humanitarian access, the return of hostages and prisoners, and a just and lasting peace through a two-state solution.

2. Calls on the UK Government to:

a) support the work of the ICC in holding to account both Israeli and Hamas leaders accused of committing war crimes;

b) condemn President Trump’s proposals to depopulate Gaza as ethnic cleansing; and

c) suspend all arms exports to Israel in line with international law

3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:

a) review public sector procurement and investments to ensure that ethical standards are upheld;

b) commit further humanitarian support for Gaza; and

c) support communities in Wales with Palestinian and Israeli links.

To clarify, there have been no negotiations with Plaid Cymru on the budget despite what’s outlined here. Cross-party scrutiny committees have expressed many concerns about the budget and it doesn’t meet Plaid Cymru’s ambition for Wales.
