International Court of Justice and Genocide in Gaza: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...number of bombs have been dropped, killing over 25,000 people in Gaza in just three months, including over 10,000 children. Some 95% of the hungriest people in the world are now in Gaza, as the Israeli Government uses starvation as a weapon of war.

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...of agony sharply cutting through sounds of bombs and explosions. How many more innocent civilian lives must be lost before the Government acts with intent, meaning and substance?

Collective punishment is not an act of self-defence....

Conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory: Motion (23 Jan 2024)

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...Africa’s case. Wait and see for what - the complete eradication of the Palestinian people from the face of this earth?

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

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...economic sanctions and the ICC referral, which I first suggested 25 days ago. The Government's statement that an investigation is already open does not explain why there is no willingness to refer Israel to the ICC.

Violet-Anne Wynne: I will begin, as I always do in these important and serious contributions, by condemning unreservedly the actions of Hamas and the war crimes and genocide being perpetrated by Israel. Since I last spoke on this matter in the House, the power to the Al-Shifa Hospital and all hospitals in northern Gaza has been cut.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (8 Nov 2023)

Violet-Anne Wynne: While I welcome that the Taoiseach condemned the actions of Hamas, as do I, he spoke yet again about how the Israeli response needs to be proportionate. That ship has truly sailed. Cutting off electricity and leaving babies in a neonatal intensive care unit to die before they can even get a chance to live is not proportionate. Genocide is not proportionate. Breaking international human...

Some of the statements in recent days from Israeli leaders have...

Violet-Anne Wynne: ...To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade the role he envisions Ireland taking to advance the Middle East peace process following the unanimous motion of Dáil Éireann earlier in 2021 that Israel’s settlement activity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem amounts to an unlawful de-facto annexation; if Ireland will maximise its seat on the United Nations Security...
