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:

There were. I know the Deputy did not read about them in the media. Hundreds of rockets were launched towards Israel every year. By the way, Israel is the most bombarded country. After we left Gaza in 2005, we were bombarded by more than 17,000 rockets, missiles and mortar shells. At this moment, over 100,000 rockets are being directed towards Israeli cities. No other country in the world is faced with such a threat. I think the Deputy should acknowledge that, at least.
