What was decided

The majority voted against a motion introduced by Tasmanian Senator Nick McKim (Greens), which means it did not succeed.

Motion text

That, in the opinion of the Senate, the following is a matter of urgency:

In recognition of the National Day of Action for Palestine, and in recognition of the State of Israel's renewed assault on Gaza that demonstrates an ongoing and blatant disregard for international law, that the Australian Government imposes sanctions on the extremist Netanyahu government, ends the two-way arms trade and calls for an end to the genocide against the people of Gaza, system of apartheid, and illegal occupation.
