    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is my card. This is a very important matter. Initially when Sen. Faki started speaking about it, I asked myself whether Sen. Outa’s Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations will be tasked to look into this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must be reminded that in as much as it is a conflict that is in another country that today Kenya sits very high on the table of nations as a member of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. Sitting at the UN Security Council means that the Parliament of Kenya can pronounce itself in a nonpartisan manner. It can present itself because Amb. Kimani is representing the Government and the people of Kenya must know that Kenyans are concerned. Sitting at the table of the UN Security Council gives us a further responsibility. We are not like any other nation that would just watch on the side-lines. We have heard other countries pronounce themselves. We have had Members of the House of Commons in the United Kingdom (UK) and Members in the United States of America (USA) Congress. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we sit at par when it comes to mattes of global security for us to also be able to say as a country that we believe in peace. That we, as a country, believe in an amiable or amicable solution to this conflict that has lasted very many years. In fact, just because of the definition of the nation Israel in 1948 - even before that - there has been conflict. The conflict goes thousands of years between Palestinians and Israelites."
