Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

I have here a photograph of Rayyan Suleiman. He was a seven-year-old boy whose only crime was being Palestinian. That was his crime. The Israeli army took that young boy from his family. He is not the only one. Some 20 children have this year been killed by the Israeli army. The Minister does not have to listen to me. He can listen to former United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms Michelle Bachelet, who said that Israel on a constant basis is breaking international law and is combining that with an almost total lack of accountability. This comes down to that lack of accountability for the Israeli army and state. What did the Minister say to the Israeli ambassador about this killing and the countless others?
