Great. I spoke to Deputy Carthy, who is sorry he could not be here, and he raised the issue of compensation at the PAC in 2021. He was told that:
Ireland pursues this issue consistently ... [although] bilaterally and jointly with other donors. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has raised the issue of demolition and confiscation of humanitarian aid and Palestinian property with both the Israeli Ambassador in Dublin and directly with his Israeli counterparts during visits...
Does the Minister of State think that the approach we take on this is successful in disincentivising Israel from destroying Palestinian property?
