That the Parliament commends the work of Standing Together, a grassroots social movement with roots in Israel, to bring people from Israeli, Arab, Jewish, Palestinian and other backgrounds together for the common goal of peace; notes that since 7 October 2023, Standing Together has organised for Jewish and Palestinian people to come together in various cities across the UK each month to share stories, songs and hopes for peace; further notes that supporters have also taken part in demonstrations calling for the release of all hostages and an end to the genocide in Gaza; commends the group's core message that all people in Israel and Palestine should be entitled to freedom, self-determination, dignity, security and peace; supports its call for an end to occupation of Palestinian land, and wishes the group every success in its endeavours.
