The Oireachtas vote expressed itself in the House. The situation regarding Palestine and Israel is in transition. The comments made by the new US Administration have been very clear. I have always opposed the building of accommodation on what was deemed Palestinian lands. The question here is about accountability. Clearly, we, and the vast majority of people, have supported the two-state solution. This goes back to the late 1940s, as Deputy Adams is well aware. President Trump has said he would expect that his newly appointed ambassador here would have a major influence in being able to deal with the question between Israel and Palestine. What the outcome of that means is for discussion and negotiation.
