The International Court of Justice, ICJ, concluded earlier this year that Israel was plausibly committing genocide against the people of Gaza. Yesterday the Government of the United States of America made a decision to give €13 billion to a State that is plausibly - and in my opinion undoubtedly - guilty of genocide. Thousands more people have died since the ICJ ruling. Does the Taoiseach believe it is appropriate that the United States of America should, in effect, reward Israel for genocide? In the context where they are blatantly arming and supporting Israel to continue that genocide does the Taoiseach believe they should continue to have the use of airport facilities in this country at Shannon Airport while they are complicit with that genocide?
