This vote of condemnation and sympathy, the parliament also “appealed for Israel to respect its responsibilities under international humanitarian law and a transparent investigation into the acts that led up to the confrontations" and "offered its solidarity with the forces of the international community to find a fair solution based on two states accepted by both sides in the Israeli - Palestinian conflict ".
