Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Treaties (28 Jan 2021)

Paschal Donohoe: The provisions of the Double Taxation Treaty between Ireland and Israel do not apply to territories occupied by Israel in 1967. An individual will not be treated as a resident of Israel for the purposes of the Treaty by virtue of their residing in occupied territories nor will a company be treated as resident in Israel by virtue of its being established in occupied territories. Similarly,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Nov 2023)

Holly Cairns: Today marks the one-month anniversary of the brutal Hamas attack on Israel in which 1,400 people were killed, 1,000 were injured and at least 243 people were kidnapped. We now know an Irish-Israeli girl, eight-year-old Emily Hand, is among those who were kidnapped. I know everyone in this House is hoping for Emily's safe return and the safe and swift return of all hostages. Israel has a...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (20 Mar 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Taoiseach rejected our call, and the call of huge numbers of people across the world, to boycott Joe Biden because of his complicity with the genocidal massacre that Israel is committing and the fact that he has armed Israel to the teeth and enabled it to commit that massacre. Did the Taoiseach ask him to stop arming Israel? Mary Robinson echoed the calls of millions of people...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Middle East Issues (14 Jun 2018)

Simon Coveney: I am aware of the report in question, which my Department has examined. A key priority of the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs and Public Diplomacy is to combat domestic or international criticism of, or pressure on, Israel, and in particular to combat support for boycott campaigns. Material produced by the Ministry should be evaluated against that background. The report makes...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Situation in Palestine: Discussion (Resumed) (13 May 2021) See 1 other result from this debate

John Brady: ...we have seen up to 69 people butchered, deeply depressing. I also find it depressing that not one of our speakers this morning could express any sympathy or remorse for any loss of life, either in Israel or in the Palestinian Territories. I find that deeply, deeply depressing. I offer my sympathies to the families of everyone who has lost their life. The blockade of Gaza and the...

Escalation of Violence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Nov 2023)

Thomas Pringle: ..., and it is bizarre we are witnessing the slaughter live on television. It is even more shocking when we see clearly how the West is supporting and condoning the actions of the apartheid state of Israel. Some of them might be trying to get the Israelis to be not so aggressive but, sadly, that is all they are doing. They are not saying enough is enough. The Government is not saying it...

Written Answers — Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Middle East Issues (7 Sep 2018)

Simon Coveney: I have previously expressed my concerns about the passing of the Nation State Law in Israel. Much of the Law is declaratory in nature, and it remains to be seen how much direct impact it will have in practice. However, even on a symbolic level, it risks marginalising Israeli citizens who are not Jewish, in particular the 20% of Israeli citizens who identify as Arab or Palestinian. It sends...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (28 Feb 2024)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...before No. 1. Today we are seeking leave to introduce the Air Navigation and Transport (Arms Embargo) Bill 2024, which is emergency legislation that would ensure Ireland is not complicit in arming Israel and would help to curb the flow of weapons being used in Gaza. Since Israel began its relentless bombardment of Gaza, arms exports to Israel have dramatically increased. In November,...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Middle East (24 Jun 2021)

Gino Kenny: Has there been any sanction against Israel for what it did in Gaza in May? Was there any punishment imposed or any effort to secure accountability? Was there any kind of sanction in regard to the economic and trade agreement between Israel and the EU, which is worth tens of billions of euro per year? I already know the answer is "No". There has been no sanction or punishment. The...

Written Answers — Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport: EU-Israel Aviation Agreement (29 May 2013)

Leo Varadkar: ...comprehensive air services agreements with neighbouring countries, in particular in the Mediterranean region. The Euro-Mediterranean Aviation Agreement between the EU, its Member States,  and Israel, is one of a number of such agreements that have been negotiated by the European Commission over the last number of years.  Air services between the EU and Israel currently operate on...

Imposing Sanctions on Israel: Motion [Private Members] (15 Nov 2023)

Mark Ward: There must be consequences for Israel's actions. Let us be clear: the reason Israel is committing the most grotesque crimes against humanity is that it has been allowed to murder Palestinian people and impose an apartheid regime without consequences. The world has stood by and let this happen. The world did not impose sanctions. Prior to 7 October, Israeli forces were already murdering...

Written Answers — Israeli Policy: Israeli Policy (8 Jul 2010)

Micheál Martin: Like every other country, Israel is entitled to play a full and active part within the UN and other international organisations. This is perhaps especially important to acknowledge in Israel's case, as for many decades Israel has been excluded from some organisations, or from regional groups within UN organisations, due to the denial in some quarters of its legitimacy and right to exist....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade, and Defence: Israel's Apartheid against Palestinians: Amnesty International (22 Feb 2022)

Mr. Colm O'Gorman: I thank the Chairman and members of the committee for the opportunity to speak about Amnesty International's recently launched research report entitled, Israel's Apartheid against Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime against Humanity. As the Chairman mentioned, I am joined by two of my colleagues. Mr. Saleh Higazi is attending online. He is deputy...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Israel cannot be believed. That is the point. I do not understand how the Minister believes Israel when it states that it disregards the guidelines in the agreement. In the Dáil the other day, we listened to an Israeli soldier who is a member of Breaking the Silence. This is a large organisation of Israeli soldiers that has produced a book entitled Our Harsh Logic. The Tánaiste...

Written Answers — Middle East Peace Process: Middle East Peace Process (12 Oct 2010)

Micheál Martin: Ms. Mairead Maguire was refused entry to Israel on 28 September on arrival at Ben Gurion Airport on a flight from Frankfurt. The basis for refusal was that she had been previously deported from Israel, most recently in June 2010 following her detention at sea on board the Rachel Corrie. She appealed this decision to the Central District Court and subsequently to the Supreme Court of Israel....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)

...Between the two of us, we are happy, on behalf of the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, to assist as best we can the members' deliberations on the pre-Committee Stage scrutiny of the Illegal Israeli Settlements Divestment Bill.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2023)

Leo Varadkar: I believe Israel has the right to exist. Israel was established by the United Nations in accordance with international law. It has the right to exist. I hope the Deputy will agree and will say that in his follow-up response. As any sovereign state, it has the right to defend itself when it is under attack. I can understand why Israel needs to take action to root out terrorists and people...

Written Answers — Department of An Taoiseach: Official Engagements (7 Nov 2023)

Micheál Martin: ...third countries is a central part of the work of the Department of Foreign Affairs. Within this context, both I and my officials maintain frequent and ongoing engagement with the Government of Israel. Such engagement is particularly important in the context of the crisis that is currently unfolding in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory. Most recently, I spoke to Israeli...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (23 Jun 2022)

Simon Coveney: As I said in my response to the Deputy, this agreement does make a distinction between occupied territory and Israel proper, for want of a better term. That is appropriate. As I said my reply, the legal framework underpinning the EU-Israel partnership is provided by the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which has been in force since 2000. Unlike Russia, Israel is part of the European...
