Last year, Rafah was home to approximately 250,000 people. Now, 1.5 million people are in Rafah because Palestinians were told to go there as they would be safe. Yesterday morning, Israeli airstrikes targeted Rafah, killing dozens of people. The targeting of Rafah is a massive escalation of Israel's invasion of Gaza that requires a change in approach by our Government. What actions is the Government taking as a result? The Taoiseach mentioned he contacted the European Commission President on the EU-Israel trade agreement. Will he update us? What happened during the conversation? What will the Government do next?
