Hanna, who was talking throughout an interview with Radio Jamaica, mentioned the Andrew Holness-led administration “continues to cover behind a cloak of thriller about Israel.”
She says that lacking the vote on offering humanitarian help goes towards who Jamaicans are as a folks.
“This decision was simply asking for one thing simple – defend human rights and legality; give the humanitarian ceasefire to assist the folks throughout this tough time. And we didn’t vote for it. We had been lacking,” she mentioned.
“I don’t know how one can have that in your fingers. Fairly frankly, I believe the minister must do the honorable factor, maybe. In case you can miss such a severe vote, maybe you now not must be the Minister of Overseas Affairs and Overseas Commerce. I’m calling on her to resign over this,” Hanna declared.
The federal government acknowledged {that a} technical cross in communication led to Jamaica’s consultant not voting.
