Leo Varadkar: I thank the Deputies for their contributions. I have explained earlier on a number of occasions the Government's position on the ICC and also about the need to keep diplomatic relations open with Israel through its embassador. Deputy Alan Farrell spoke about what we can do at an EU level. It is fair to say that the European Union is not united when it comes to the conflict in Israel and...

Emer Higgins: This morning we all woke to the horrific news that Israeli soldiers had stormed Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza. Images of death, destruction and dying babies haunt us all. What Israel is doing is barbaric, inhumane and criminal. I have spent time in Palestine and I have seen at first-hand the utter disdain with which Israeli soldiers treat Palestinians. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and...

Michael Collins: ...war will pan out and we have seen ill-disposed actors sabotage critical gas pipelines like Nord Stream in Germany and Baltic connectors in Finland. Combined with the terrible situation between Israel and Palestine, our current gas storage and supply arrangements look completely inadequate and are in breach of EU legislation on gas storage. Despite my consistent warnings, nothing was...

Róisín Shortall: The horror unfolding in Gaza is on an unimaginable scale. In just over a month, Israel has dropped more than 25,000 tonnes of explosives on the besieged Gaza Strip, which is home to 2.3 million people, half of whom are children. Shockingly, more than one in 20 people in Gaza is now believed to be either injured, missing or dead. Entire families have been wiped out and the number of child...

Fiona O'Loughlin: ...and we absolutely need to make sure they are on it quite soon. I want to make a point regarding the ongoing diplomatic realities in the background. There have been some calls for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador. That would obviously lead to the expulsion of the Irish ambassador in Israel, who is central to trying to get our Irish citizens out. I want to make clear that I...

Ruairi Ó Murchú: ...happened right across eastern Europe but I am not sure I buy that completely. I know I am slightly off topic but just in the sense that this did not seem to be the same issue in Yom Kippur when Israel was looking for European help. That is a separate point. Europe needs to get real on that and there is probably an element of an Irish Government - and if we do have particular fellow...

Réada Cronin: We have kept this motion simple. We are asking the Dáil to refer Israel to the International Criminal Court in the name of Ireland, humanity, decency and the international rule of law, given the murder of UN staff, the targeting of journalists, the killing of their families, the evisceration of men, women and children, and the killing of ICU nurses and doctors. I saw the last ever...

Joan Collins: ...than 4,000 of whom are children, a two-state solution looks further away than ever. Yesterday, Benjamin Netanyahu once again stated that the Palestinian National Authority would have no place in Gaza after Israel's current campaign or, as the Minister quite correctly called it, war on children. There is, then, no plan to build a unified Palestinian Authority and no plan for a two-state...

Ivana Bacik: ...the Government. While we need to continue all forms of constructive engagement to secure the release of Emily Hand and the 40 Irish citizens who are trapped and effectively being held hostage by the Israeli Government in Gaza, we must also continue to call out and condemn the breaches of international law by Netanyahu’s Government. At the weekend, I was glad to join with other...

Timmy Dooley: ...there was a free and fair election in Gaza now, I suspect that Hamas would have no place. There is equal revulsion for the activities of Hamas among most of the Palestinian people. Unfortunately, Israel has failed to accept that situation. The only way this can be described now is as collective punishment of the Palestinian people because Hamas happens to be the leader of the...
