Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Yes. It was a blatant attack on people, businesses and houses. It was quite shocking. There was a trauma visited upon children and a sense of insecurity and of fear. It is designed, in line with Mr. Smotrich's comments, to force people out and to create terror. I am in no doubt about that. We have to work with other countries to try to really escalate the international response to this.
