    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ask a Statement pursuant to Standing Order No. 44 (2) (c), on Israel and Palestine conflict. I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine. On June 2020, Kenya was elected as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. The Security Council has a primary responsibility, under the United Nations Charter, for the maintenance of international peace and security, and also to determine when and where the UN's peace operations should be deployed. Therefore, Kenya has an obligation to broker peace in the conflict-stricken region. I am deeply concerned about the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict that Israel faces a wide range of socio-economic and security challenges, some of which stem from the decades long conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians, noting that the City of Jerusalem is a home of all religions and the ongoing conflict deters peaceful co-existence of all communities. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations on the following: (i) The measures taken by the Government to broker peace in the conflict stricken region; (ii) Request the Government to condemn the killing of over 20 persons in the holy mosque of Al Aqsa. I thank you."
