In a recent resolution filed by Deputy Floor Leader Anna Tarhata Basman, the parliament of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao called for "an end to the hostilities and attacks against the civilian population of Palestine, especially in Gaza, and allow their safe return to their homeland, their humane and dignified treatment therein, and the complete rehabilitation thereof."

"Now is not the time to be silent. As a people who knows all too well what it means for others to recognize and echo your call for the right to exist, we the Bangsamoro people, should raise our voices on behalf of those struggling for survival, the people of Gaza, the people of Palestine," Basman said in her sponsorship speech.
