Earlier in the letter she noted: “As you and the other party Leaders remarked in a series of thoughtful contributions at the start of yesterday\u2019s Plenary proceedings, the brutality inflicted on the people of Israel by Hamas is abhorrent and unjustifiable.<\/p>\n
“All statements also reflected on the plight of the Palestinian population suffering as a consequence of this violence, as well as a common desire across the Siambr for peace as the only real solution.”<\/p>\n
Before becoming Presiding Officer Ms Jones was a senior member of the leftwing Welsh Nationalist party Plaid Cymru.<\/p>\n
She also prvented the Senedd from joining the UK Parliament earlier this week in being lit up in the colours of the Israeli flag as an act of solidarity against the terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n
However, she did allow the lights to be dimmed which gave the building a blue colour.<\/p>\n
Welsh nationalist Ms Jones has also previously courted controversy by trying to ban members of the Welsh Parliament from flying Union Jack flags in their offices in 2021.<\/p>\n
