Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence

Situation in Palestine: Discussion

10:00 am

Mr. Omar Barghouti:

Whether it is obsolete or not is debatable, but it is certainly a distraction. The main point is whether the EU is meeting its obligations to stop enabling and endorsing Israel's crimes against Palestinians. Distracting our attention from this very important obligation with an empty rhetorical political debate about whether the two-state solution is the best solution or not does not serve anyone's purposes if a real just and durable peace is what we all aim to achieve.
