Yes. Ms Bennett outlined her asks of these Houses, including with respect to the situation in Gaza. She asked us to "advocate strongly, both domestically and at the EU level ... for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and ensure protection of civilians, urgent humanitarian access, and accountability for all violations of international law".

On the first two I believe there is unanimous agreement in this. In the Seanad and in the Dáil we passed resolutions to that effect. On the third point, with regard to accountability for all violations of international law, there is probably a dispute in terms of what accountability should look like, particularly the accountability for Israeli actions with the bombardment and the denial of those human rights. Do the witnesses have a view as to what accountability should look like in this instance?
