Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

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

6:05 pm

H.E. Mr. Boaz Modai:

Senator Daly asked about the UNRWA school. I was not referring to it when I spoke about deliberately hitting places that were used for launching rockets. When it comes to this school, I heard the figure of 17, which I think someone just threw into the air and it was used. This is something that still is under investigation by the Israeli Defence Force, and I have no information to give to the Senator at present. However, I know it is being checked. I do not know to what the Senator was referring when he stated that we try to embarrass the people who oppose us. We certainly do not. The only thing we try to do is to give facts, and sometimes we take an action that is not favourable for many people. We put a mirror in front of their faces and many people just do not like it. They do not wish to be confronted with the mirror.
