Israel-Hamas conflict should not be allowed to compromise Singapore peace and harmony: Pritam Singh

Singaporeans should be aware that the Israel-Hamas confrontation and broader conflict could test its multi-racial and multi-religious society, but it should not be allowed to compromise the country's peace and harmony, said Leader of the Opposition Pritam Singh in parliament on Monday (Nov 6).

He outlined the Workers' Party's (WP) response to the Israel-Hamas war, stating that it supports the Geneva Conventions and international humanitarian law.

"We support them because our survival depends on them. Singapore is a small state that relies on international law. And small states need international law and its protections," he said.

He said the WP backs the call for a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians to live in peace and security.
