Razwana Begum Abdul Rahim on Israel-Hamas conflict
A Parliamentary motion on the Israel-Hamas conflict holds great relevance for Singapore’s own public safety and security, said NMP Razwana Begum Abdul Rahim in the House on Monday (Nov 6). She said it is directly connected to the country’s racial harmony, its duty to prevent potential security threats and its commitment to voicing public concerns. Assoc Prof Razwana said it is commendable that Singaporeans have come together as a nation to provide humanitarian aid and donations to victims of the war in Gaza. With the war raising security concerns around the world and having the potential to cause conflict within Singapore, she said it is "our collective duty" to condemn terrorism while insisting that all parties prioritise the safety of civilians. At the same time, the country must remain proactive in monitoring and countering extremism. Finally, she said Singapore must advocate for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the form of a negotiated two-state solution.
