Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Situation in Gaza - Middle East Peace Process: Palestinian and Israeli Ambassadors

5:25 pm

H.E. Mr. Boaz Modai:

I thank Deputy Crowe for his evaluation of my speech and my talk. I know I do not convince everyone. I believe I have convinced many people who want to know the facts.

The Deputy asked me to explain what was behind the Israeli attack on Gaza. All I can do in response is suggest that the Deputy should read my speech, in which I explained the exact position, again. There was no Israeli attack. Israel attacked after it was attacked by terrorist organisations. I am not going to elaborate on the meaning of "terrorist" here in this country. The Deputy asked me the reason behind it. I would like to ask him a question. What would Ireland do if a rocket was launched towards Dublin, Limerick or Cork? I do not think there is any other country in the world-----
