Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Syed Harun Alhabsyi on situation in Gaza
In parliament on Friday (Feb 27), Senior Parliamentary Secretary Syed Harun Alhabsyi asked about Singapore’s plans for alleviating the crisis in Gaza and what more Singaporeans can do to support those efforts. How Singapore manages this situation, he said, has parallel lessons for the country in navigating foreign diplomacy ahead, balancing ties with countries it has traditionally regarded as friends, pushing against flagrant breaches of international law, maintaining its position as a principal trusted partner on the global stage and ultimately, looking out for its national interests.
