55. To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he will outline his views on a one-state solution for the situation in Palestine and Israel; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19865/23]

I am deeply troubled by announcements and actions taken by the Israeli Government, which undermine prospects for a two-State solution and are a major obstacle to a just, lasting and comprehensive peace. I am following these developments very closely and urge the parties to abide by their obligations under international law.

Ireland’s focus is on seeking ways to change the reality on the ground and to protect and encourage a peace process that can deliver a two-State solution, in line with the agreed parameters. The two-State solution represents the only sustainable prospect that will enable Palestinians and Israelis to live in peace.
