Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

It is intolerable that Netanyahu thinks he can get away with a ground invasion and we have President Biden saying, "Do not do that unless you have a plan." Those are not strong words. That is something the Taoiseach needs to make crystal clear to President Biden when he goes to America. I did not call for the withdrawal of the Israeli ambassador. I am finding it very difficult to stick with that decision because the ambassador has had free rein to propagate utter propaganda on our airwaves, with no balanced opposition, repeating that Israel is a democracy as if that gives it an entitlement to slaughter and carry out genocide. That is what we are listening to on the airwaves. I am now reviewing my decision in relation to that. At the very least, that woman and that ambassador should be called in here before the Dáil and made to account for the words she is using. That is what diplomacy is about at this point when we are looking at genocide.
