It is not agreed. Israel acts with impunity and continues its genocidal war on the people of Gaza because it is never held to account by world leaders. Millions of Palestinian refugees in Rafah face the same nightmare as those wiped out in Gaza city and Khan Yunis before the eyes of world. Government has said that Israel's attack on Rafah is inhumane, that Israel behaves as a rogue state and that Netanyahu is not listening to anyone. Why then is the Israeli ambassador still in Ireland, justifying genocide on RTÉ? It is long past time she was sent packing. It is also time for European states, Britain and the United States to stop arming Israel's genocide. When will we hear that call from Government? The situation is now so dire that we need the Minister for Foreign Affairs to make a statement, take questions and set out very clearly the Irish Government's direction of travel on behalf of the Irish State and Irish citizens everywhere.
