More specifically, according to 902.gr portal, the question submitted by the 21 KKE MPs reads:
“The occupying state of Israel continues and escalates the genocide of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, resulting in 35,000 dead, including 15,000 children and 9,000 elderly people, civilian population, while the most moderate estimations set the missing people at 7,000.
Gaza Strip has turned into ruins, the occupier is destroying hospitals and all infrastructure, thus condemning the people to hunger, thirst, diseases. Much of the population, over a million people, has been displaced to the south, in Rafah, where the israeli army continues its bombings and prepares to complete the genocide with a ground offensive.
The crime committed by the state of Israel is supported by the USA, NATO and the EU, while both the ND government and the parties of the Euro-Atlantic arc which justified and continue justifying Israel by using the baseless claim of “self-defense, bear great responsibilities.
The ND government, as well as the Syriza government, also bear great responsibility because they ignored and refused to implement the unanimous decision of the Greek Parliament adopted on December 2015, which called the Greek government “to speed up all necessary procedures towards the recognition of the State of Palestine” on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
We note that this unacceptable stance is in contrast with the large demonstrations of solidarity towards the Palestinian people that have been occurred in our country and throughout the globe and which continue today with the emblematic mobilizations of students in US, European and other universities, as well as in Greece.
The KKE, which all these years has insisted in the implementation of the unanimous decision of the Parliament, reinstates the request and calls the government to immediately, with urgent procedures, recognize a Palestinian state,
The Minister of Foreign Affairs is being asked what the government intends to do for the immediate recognition of a Palestinian State on the borders of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital".
