I support the call for a debate on the Israel-Palestine situation. I called for such a debate a couple of weeks ago. While I welcome yesterday's debate on the humanitarian aid to Iraq, we need to monitor the situation in the Middle East following the war in Iraq. It is imperative to achieve peace in the region and ensure secure states of Israel and Palestine. I condemn the actions of Israel in the past two days and also the actions of those behind the suicide bombings. Ireland must do what it can to support any efforts to keep the peace process on track and to ensure that the United States and the United Kingdom fulfil their moral obligations to support this process.
