Gary Gannon: ...in terms of stepping out from the pack and recognising the state of Palestine today. It should call for what it is the form of apartheid being inflicted on the Palestinian people by the state of Israel, and it should enact the occupied territories Bill. If the Tánaiste rightfully acknowledges that form of leadership there is an onus on us to step up once again and be the first to act.

Matt Carthy: ...Sinn Féin to his family, loved ones and the Fianna Fáil Party. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. A two-state solution is becoming increasingly unviable simply because of the actions of the state of Israel in its pursuit of the absolute humiliation of the Palestinian people, which appears to be its only goal at this time. I welcome the strong words from the Tánaiste and...

Mick Barry: Jenin in July 2023 needs to be added to the list of the Israeli state's war crimes. At least 12 Palestinians were killed, at least 100 were hospitalised and 3,000 people were evacuated. The Israel Defense Forces may have withdrawn but Netanyahu holds out the threat of more, stating: "I can say that our extensive activity in Jenin is not a one-time operation". The US Administration has...

Matters Arising in RTÉ: Statements (4 Jul 2023)

Joan Collins: I start by sending my solidarity to Palestinians worldwide in the face of the Israeli State's campaign against the civilians of Jenin. Bombs are hitting the city and its refugee camp as we speak. I condemn the murder of 11 Palestinians, including two children, by the Israeli State. I fear that we will see many more civilians lose their lives over the coming days. This is a campaign of...

Catherine Connolly: The Taoiseach's response is absolutely incredibly weak for an independent sovereign State. On 1 July, the Tánaiste condemned the illegal Israeli settlements. There are 5,500 further housing units in West Bank settlements - this illegal occupation is against international law - and more are planned. What we have here is an operation cynically called Operation Home and Garden. Can the...

Niall Ó Donnghaile: ...I understand we are limited in what we can do, but I am just so frustrated and anguished by the scenes of a refugee camp being attacked by air and land. On RTÉ radio, I heard this referred to as an ongoing Israeli operation. I want to have the opportunity to convey the solidarity that I believe the vast majority of Irish people show for the people of Palestine and the determination...

Mark Ward: ...monitor our skies and seas and protect ourselves from modern threats, including cybersecurity attacks. This is another European Council meeting at which Palestine is not on the agenda. Only this week, Israel's government approved plans to build thousands of new homes in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. This is an act of open war against the Palestinian people....

Mick Barry: ...-use goods but I will just cite two as examples. In a two-year-old statistic from 2021, it was noted that since 2011, Ireland had exported €6.5 million worth of military or dual-use hardware to Israel. What is that military or dual-use hardware used for? We have seen the scenes on our television screens of the deaths and injuries that have rained down on Palestinian people. Can...

Ceisteanna - Questions: British-Irish Co-operation (27 Jun 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...our so-called "ally", as the Taoiseach described it, has introduced a law that is going to make it illegal for democratic councils in Britain to support the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel over its ongoing systematic violation of Palestinian rights, the criminal siege of Gaza, apartheid policies, the illegal annexation of Palestinian territory, and administrative...

Richard Boyd Barrett: .... Did those at the political community meeting discuss what the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine is here to discuss today, which is what she describes as the shocking double standards in the treatment of Israel for its crimes against the Palestinians and the treatment of Putin for his crimes against Ukraine? We have referred to this many times.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: EU Security and Defence Policy: Discussion (21 Jun 2023)

...our formal alignment in defence and security would fundamentally change that. The European Union already collectively plays quite an honest broker role in the case a member raised. In respect of Israeli-Palestinian peace, it is certainly not viewed in the same way as the United States, which is certainly aligned with one particular party. Based on the decades of the existence of the...

He mentioned breaches of the UN Charter which Russia has clearly committed, but says nothing about breaches or violations of human rights by states supported by the US and UK, whether Israel, Saudi Arabia or God knows who else.

Matt Carthy: The difficulty and reality, which I think the Tánaiste acknowledged in his earlier remarks, is that Israeli actions in breaching international law, engaging in an apartheid regime and committing war crimes are becoming more blatant and glaring by the day. I think he also acknowledged that the EU, because of the position some of the governments, to their shame, have taken in respect of...
