Middle East Peace Process

Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, Solidarity) | Oireachtas source
President Donald Trump is renowned for his very small hands, but he has put his big feet in it in the Middle East with his unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. This is rightly seen as an endorsement of the far-right policies of the Israeli Government and an attempt to annex not just East Jerusalem, but all of the Palestinian territories. It has caused uproar in the Middle East, with protests taking place and, tragically, four Palestinians killed and many hundreds injured. His arrogant declaration is already stained with blood. Does the Government not agree that it is now time to withdraw the invitation to President Trump to come to Ireland?
