I joined a number of European leaders today in calling on Israel to immediately lift its blockade on Gaza and to ensure rapid, unimpeded humanitarian aid. All parties must renew efforts for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages. gov.ie/en/department-…

Today, the 🇺🇳 UN SG has said moral clarity and action are needed regarding the situation for Palestinians in Gaza. We will not be silent. We reiterate our call on the government of Israel to fully lift the humanitarian blockade.

The suffering in Gaza is unbearable. Children are starving, hospitals are collapsing and the humanatarian situation is catastrophic. With colleagues from 21 countries and the EU, I urgently call again for immediate & unhindered humanitarian aid and for the killing to end.

Today, a clear majority of EU Member States agreed on the need to send a strong signal to Israel to reverse course, to halt its military operations and to lift the blockade on lifesaving aid. Ireland has been leading at an EU level to reach this point. Now it’s time to act.

I am shocked and appalled at reports that the IDF fired shots in the vicinity of a visit to Jenin today by a group of diplomats, including two Irish diplomats based in Ramallah. Fortunately, no-one was hurt. This is completely unacceptable and I condemn it in the strongest terms.

I am deeply shocked and horrified that the Israeli Defence Forces today opened fire on a group of diplomats visiting the town of Jenin. Thankfully, nobody was killed or injured.

One year ago today, as Taoiseach, I was proud to announce Ireland’s recognition of the State of Palestine. We took that step in hope and conviction: that a two-State solution is the only path to a just and lasting peace for both Palestinians and Israelis. My statement ⬇️

One year ago, Ireland formally recognised the State of Palestine. We did so because we believe that the people of Palestine and the people of Israel both deserve to live in peace and security, side-by-side.

Settler violence and demolitions in the West Bank are leading to forced displacement of Palestinian communities - with devastating consequences for those forced to leave their homes. 📄ochaopt.org/content/humani…

Now more than ever we must work to implement the two-State solution. Peace in the Middle East is possible and Ireland will continue to work with partners around the world who are committed to this goal.  gov.ie/en/department-…

Joining several EU countries today to deliver a clear message to the 🇪🇺 Commission. We now urgently need proposals at EU level to effectively discontinue trade with Israeli settlements in the Occupied 🇵🇸 Territory. 🇮🇪 will bring forward our own proposals on this next week.

But we cannot allow the growing crisis to distract from the ongoing horror in Gaza. The humanitarian catastrophe unfolding there is unconscionable. Thousands of innocent children are starving, suffering, and dying. We must not and will not look away.
