Ms Hilary Minch: On the recognition of Israel, if we go back to 1998 when the PLO declared a state on 22% of the historic homeland, Hamas recognises that. Whether it is recognising Israel as a Jewish state or a non-Jewish state is not really the point. It recognises the state of Palestine as being on that 22%. That is recognising Israel on the remainder of the land. If we talk about...

Joe Costello: Israel is not allowing access through the natural hinterland for Gaza through to Israel and the West Bank. As I said in my reply, we have constantly raised these issues with Israel.

Gino Kenny: A number of weeks ago, six human rights organisations were designated as terrorist organisations by the State of Israel. A number of these organisations receive funding from Irish Aid. The allegations made against them are extremely serious and are designed to smear anybody who stands against Israel's continued brutal occupation of Palestine. Israel will continue to do this with impunity...

Dermot Ahern: I do not believe that a member of Hamas will ever formally recognise the State of Israel because it goes against the charter under which Hamas was formed. If the Deputy ever gets the opportunity to go to Israel one of the first things the Israeli Foreign Minister would do would be to give him a copy of the Hamas charter, which clearly indicates its core aim is the destruction of Israel.

Mary Coughlan: I have no record of any ministerial-led trade missions having being organised to Israel. There is quite a modest level of activity by that agency's client companies in Israel and, accordingly, scarce resources are prioritized for other country markets which offer higher potential.
