Committee of Supply 2024 debate, Day 2: Vikram Nair on conflict in Middle East
The Gaza war shows no signs of abating and the conflict is now spilling to other parts of the Middle East, said MP Vikram Nair in Parliament on Thursday (Feb 29). Citing the attacks by Houthis on vessels in the Red Sea region, he stated that Singapore supported the adoption of the United Nations (UN) Security Council Resolution 2722 on 10 January 2024, which condemned the attacks by Houthis and demanded that they cease all attacks on merchant and commercial vessels. Given Singapore’s reliance on maritime trade routes, he wanted to know what more Singapore plans to do in relation to this issue.
