Resolution on the Middle East Conflict

Recognising that the security and stability of the Middle East is threatened by the current conflict between Hizbollah and Israel,

The Atlasian Senate hereby recognises that;
(1) the terrorist group, Hizbollah, is acting without legitimate cause or grievance;
(2) it is acting with the tacit support of the Syrian and Iranian governments;
(3) should this support continue the government of Atlasia should not stand idly by, but should actively support the state of Israel in dealing with this foreign aggression;
(4) while the state of Israel is entitled to be strong and secure within its borders, attacks on non-military targets, inflicting fatalities and serious injuries on foreign citizens, are actions contrary to generally recognised human rights and should be discontinued.

Sponsor: Sen. Jake

I withdraw this legislation.

Do I have to put it in the the Leg. Intro. thread or can I sponsor it from here?

You have to reintroduce it. And too bad nothing has been said about this by our sh**tty GM so its never happened and it's over. So yeah.

It needs to be reintroduced but I can consider it to be an emergency resolution

Normally, this would be done by myself as PPT acting in unison with the President of the Senate (i.e. the Vice President); however, Article 7: Rules on the Overriding of Sections of the Procedural Resolution reads:

If the PPT or the President of the Senate has publicly announced absence from the Senate or is absence from the Forum in general for a period longer than seven (7) days, then the powers provided by Clause 1 of this Article may be applied by the PPT or the President of the Senate in conjuction with a simple majority vote in approval by the Senate at large

Basically, Senator Jake has requested this be withdrawn and that request is granted

Senator, I suggest you introduce it again on the Legislation Introduction Thread and I'll set the wheels in motion (as soon as an appropriate slot becomes available)
