Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach is entirely correct to meet representatives of the Jewish community, as do I. Antisemitism is disgusting and despicable. There are hostages who have been taken from the people and families of Israel and they need to be freed. The carry on of Hamas is utterly despicable, parading children's caskets like some sort of sick, twisted act of propaganda. Hamas needs to be condemned and we here in this Government will always engage proudly with the Jewish community at home and abroad but we will also speak the truth. We stand up for international law. We utterly condemn the actions of the Netanyahu government.
