I honestly believe that most people in this country will see the performance of An Taoiseach, Simon Harris, after he left the meeting in Washington with Joe Biden yesterday as woeful, pitiful and feeble. Anyone who was given an opportunity to say to Joe Biden to stop arming Israel would use it. Emmanuel Macron has done so. What is the problem with our Taoiseach not doing so? This morning, the Kamal Adwan hospital in northern Gaza has been ordered to evacuate by the Israelis. No doubt they can order and threaten that through use of the munitions supplied by the US and flown over our airspace. In April, the Tánaiste told me to stop muddying the waters when I questioned him on this. Will he now clarify the waters? Are we still allowing flights over sovereign Irish territory that are carrying munitions to Israel? What are we going to do to intervene? The Tánaiste's favourite publication, The Ditch, stated that this week more flights carrying munitions have gone over our sovereign space from the US to Israel. Will he give clarity on this? If not today, when can he tell us what he will do to stop it happening?
