Post-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-18
============================================================

Chris Andrews (SF), Dublin Bay South

Sorry, the state of Palestine. At least someone was listening to me.
We must recognise the state of Palestine. The previous Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Coveney, said that he might have recognised the Palestinian state if progress towards a two-state solution had stalled. It cannot get any more stalled than it is now. We have an extreme, fascist Israeli Government. Members of the Israeli Government were not fit to do military service.
Have I used up my time?
