Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Alan Shatter:

Sure. I have one sentence on the previous issue, and I will rapidly respond to that. Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Iran all reject the two-state solution, and their only objective is Israel's total destruction. The Palestinians are incapable of agreeing a two-state solution, which is the primary reason we have continuing conflict. On what is happening in Europe today, there are apparently ten options of possible action different European governments may take. I am not, and neither is the Senator, privy to what discussions are going on behind the scenes so I cannot act as the prophet. I do not know what if any-----
