Palestine: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-22
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

On my visit, I had the opportunity to engage in person with a range of interlocutors. I took every opportunity to stress the need for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, for de-escalation and for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, including Emily Hand.
During my visit, I also visited the Sderot area in southern Israel, meeting with families and communities affected by the terrible Hamas attacks of 7 October. I regret very much that Deputy Murphy seems to think the visit to Kibbutz Be'eri was a propaganda visit.
