Situation in Palestine: Statements (Resumed)
10:30 am
Anthony Lawlor (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I do not mind forgoing my time to allow other Members to speak. I have spoken on this issue on a number of occasions. I am torn by the Bill. Do I see the benefit of the Bill to the Palestinians? Do I see extra water coming to Palestinian farmers on the West Bank? Do I see extra economic support coming from Arab states in the Middle East to the Palestinians? I doubt it very much. The Israeli Government does not worry about world opinion. It just worries about its own objectives.
