Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Anti-Austerity Alliance) | Oireachtas source

The previous US Government, in its last few months in office, agreed a new military deal with Israel worth €38 billion over ten years. Then President Trump came to office. Within days, the Israeli Government announced the construction of 2,500 new settler homes in the West Bank. Within a few weeks, Trump withdrew from the previous, at least verbal, support of the US for a two-state solution in Israel and Palestine. Is the Minister concerned about the impact of Trump's change of policy on the prospects for peace in the Middle East?
