Middle East Peace Process. (4 Apr 2006) See 2 other results from this debate

Dermot Ahern: The Deputy should let me finish. He has got himself into a froth. It is not correct to state the EU should break off relationships with Israel. A number of association agreements with Israel exist, as does the neighbourhood action plan. These allow us the authority to raise issues on the basis we are all on the one side in dealing with Israel through normal bilateral arrangements between a...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: International Agreements (15 Jun 2021)

Simon Coveney: No decision of the European Council or of the Council of the European Union is required to approve Israel's association to Horizon Europe. Israel’s participation in EU programmes, including Horizon Europe, is governed by the specific conditions laid down in the EU-Israel Association Agreement. In accordance with EU policy, this Agreement does not apply to the geographic areas that...

Micheál Martin: Israel is a key partner of the European Union in the Mediterranean, and an active member of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership. The relationship between the EU and Israel is governed mainly by the EU-Israel Association Agreement and its associated Action Plan. The eighth annual meeting of the EU-Israel Association Council was held in June 2008, and the current EU-Israel Action Plan is due...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Middle East (6 Mar 2024)

Micheál Martin: Israel’s action in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are of serious concern for Ireland. Ireland has repeatedly called for an end to Israel’s military operations in Gaza and respect for international law, including international humanitarian law. The Taoiseach and Spanish Prime Minister have written to Commission President von der Leyen expressing deep concern at the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade: Situation in Gaza - Middle East Peace Process: Palestinian and Israeli Ambassadors (3 Sep 2014) See 5 other results from this debate

H.E. Mr. Boaz Modai: The Deputy hinted that Israel was trying to mass-murder the civilians of Gaza. In 2000, the population of Gaza was 1.2 million people. Today, there are over 1.7 million people, which means we are doing a very bad job of trying to commit the genocide of these people. Israel proved the opposite. Israel proved that it tries to avoid the loss of life of innocent people....

Written Answers — Department of Defence: Defence Forces Contracts (17 May 2017)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 62. To ask the Taoiseach and Minister for Defence the amount spent on drones and other equipment procured from Israel since 2013; his future plans on procuring equipment from Israel; and his views on whether in view of Israel’s appalling human rights record it is unethical and against the wishes of the vast majority of persons that Ireland continues trading with Israel.

Middle East and the Occupied Palestinian Territories: Motion (Resumed) (18 Oct 2023)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...That Dáil Éireann" and to substitute with the following: "— expresses horror at the indiscriminate killing and targeting of civilians in the current terrible escalation of violence between Israel and the Palestinians; — condemns as an atrocity and war crime the bombing of the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza city which has claimed the lives of at least 500...

Gino Kenny: By any stretch of the imagination, Israel is not a normal state. Its very existence was born out of brutality and racism. As such, we should treat it as an abnormal state. People might be surprised by how much trade we do with Israel, particularly in the arms industry. Since 2005, Ireland has spent €15 million on military imports from Israel and has sold €6.5 million of...

Palestine: Motion [Private Members] (22 Nov 2023)

Mark Ward: ...to discuss this really important issue. I welcome the news that there is talk of a planned four-day truce in the bombardment of Gaza. I welcome reports that Hamas has agreed to release 50 Israeli hostages. Like everybody in this House, I really hope Emily Hand is among them. I also welcome that Israel will release 150 Palestinian hostages as part of the process. The truce must be the...

Other Questions: Middle East Peace Process (13 Dec 2017)

Gino Kenny: While there is a conflict here, it is a David and Goliath conflict and at the heart of it Israel is fundamentally not the liberal state that the EU paints it as. It is a racist apartheid state, as much as South Africa was back in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. The time for treating Israel as a normal state is over. Israel is a cancer in the Middle East. It is there to confront and humiliate...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (28 Jul 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...by the Minister and the Government. However, I am concerned at the distinction the Minister draws concerning annexation. He says if annexation goes ahead it will affect the relationship between Israel and the EU. The relationship between Israel and the EU should be affected by the existing illegal settlements that are contrary to international law. It is not just any relationship...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (17 May 2022)

Chris Andrews: A Palestinian journalist, Shireen Abu Akleh, was executed by apartheid Israel. Israel knew that the eyes of the world were on it. Yet, it still executed Shireen. The Government has condemned this act, but what is the point of condemnation without consequences? It is because of the reluctance of the Government and the EU to impose consequences on Israel for its terror, that the latter...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Contracts (21 Nov 2023)

Gino Kenny: Given the murderous assault by the Israel Defense Forces does the Tánaiste's Department intend to continue to purchase goods from Israel whether they are for defensive reasons or for dual purpose reasons? As the Tánaiste will have seen, Israel is not a normal state. Israel runs on the basis of perpetual violence and oppression. How can any state call itself a democracy while...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (6 Oct 2022)

John Brady: I do not think that it is just the make-up of the Israeli Government that is facilitating what is happening on the ground. I strongly believe that it is the failure of the international community to hold Israel to account that is emboldening Israel to carry out those illegal actions. We see it in some of the commentary from Liz Truss, who has stated that she is going to review moving the...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: EU Funding (18 Nov 2021)

John Brady: The EU commitment to this project serves the purpose of essentially entrenching the EU in the complicity of Israel's campaign of annexation of Palestinian territories. The Minister will be aware that the Palestinian Authority recently deposited its exclusive economic zone, EEZ, with the UN, overlapping with major gas fields Israel is currently exploiting. He will also be well aware that...

Seanad: Ethical Foreign Policy: Motion (28 Mar 2007) See 1 other result from this debate

Feargal Quinn: I have been to Israel as well. I will outline a little of the history. After the 1967 war Israel offered a deal of land for peace. That was turned down and the Arab summit held in Khartoum immediately afterwards arrived at its triple negative resolution — no negotiations, no recognition and no peace. That is the line Hamas and Fatah have taken over the years. Achieving peace in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (31 Jan 2023)

Chris Andrews: The Minister acknowledged the violation of international law and said that Israel disregards international law and the views of the UN and EU. However, there are still no consequences for Israel stealing Palestinian land, for apartheid in Israel or for increasing rates of murder by the Israeli Defence Forces. The new fanatical, fascist, homophobic Minister of Finance in the Israel...

Leo Varadkar: UN Security Council Resolution 2334, adopted on 23 December 2016, calls on all States to distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967. Ireland has consistently and strongly opposed settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory, and will continue to do so. In keeping with differentiation, Ireland’s...

...home in Ireland than in any other western country. Its heroic struggle against centuries of colonialism has always inspired Palestinians. This is why I shall speak from the heart. At a time when Israel's regime of military occupation, settler colonialism and apartheid is implementing a shoot-to-kill-or-maim policy against peaceful Palestinian protesters in Gaza marching for freedom and...
