PEACE campaigners in Wales continued frantic efforts today to persuade Labour Senedd members to support a motion calling for a ceasefire in Palestine.

A Plaid Cymru motion seeking an immediate cessation of hostilities was tabled by party leader Rhun ap Iorwereth, with the vote too close to call last night.

Despite the Welsh government and the Senedd not having responsibility for foreign affairs, the Plaid leader said it was important that Wales’s parliament should unite in sending a “clear message for humanity and peace.”
