RIYADH - Parliament will have a full discussion of Singapore’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when it next sits at the beginning of November, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Friday.
“It’s always very worrying when you see a humanitarian crisis developing, when innocent civilians suffer… sometimes as a side effect of military conflict, sometimes directly targeted,” said PM Lee. “You have to do this not just because the law is written that way, but also because from Israel’s own interests, if you just respond emotionally, cathartically, but in a way which doesn’t help to solve the problem, you may get yourself into a much worse situation than you’re in,” he said.
In particular, Muslims are very agitated by developments as there is a certain feeling of empathy and compassion, closely felt, for the Palestinian cause. “It’s completely understandable,” he said.
