ALP Conference applauds the last Labor government for its commitment to a two-state solution in the Middle East and specifically:
• voting to enhance Palestinian status in the General Assembly;
• restating the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is occupied territory;
• opposing Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land; and
• joining the world community in branding settlements illegal under international law.
NSW Labor recognises a Middle East peace will only be won with the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The state of Palestine should be based on 1967 borders with agreed land swaps and with security guarantees for itself and Israel.
NSW Labor welcomes the decision of the Palestinian Authority to commit to a demilitarised Palestine with the presence of international peacekeepers, including US forces.
If, however, there is no progress to a two-state solution, and Israel continues to build and expand settlements, a future Labor Government will consult likeminded nations towards recognition of the Palestinian state.

Middle East peace process – Gaza – Queensland ALP Conference resolution
This Conference welcomes the United Nations’ designation of 2014 as the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People and supports the enhanced Palestinian status at the United Nations General Assembly.
Deploring the injustice of Israel’s disproportionately brutal response to the firing of missiles from Gaza, Conference supports an end to rocket attacks by Hamas and an end to Israeli incursions, which have led to the unconscionable deaths and injuries of many innocent civilians.
Conference joins the international community in calling for an enduring ceasefire and the end of the blockade of Gaza.
