On 22 May, the Geneva International Peace Research Institute filed a complaint at the International Criminal Court against Ursula von der Leyen for complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity. The complaint read:

Reasonable grounds exist to believe that the unconditional support of the President of the European Commission to Israel – ... economic, diplomatic and political – has enabled war crimes and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Ursula von der Leyen is currently the nominee of the European People's Party, EPP, for leadership of the new European Commission. Fine Gael is part of the EPP. Its new MEPs will all have a vote in this matter. Is the Taoiseach comfortable seeing Fine Gael's new MEPs lining up to vote for a woman who the International Criminal Court is now being asked to investigate for war crimes?
