Those who escaped Gaza in recent weeks also have relatives in Gaza. My understanding from the Irish citizens who have escaped Gaza is that the Irish Embassy and the Department of Foreign Affairs are actively trying to reunite them with some of their relatives, especially those in dire situations. That would be very welcome.
The reaction at the weekend of the Tánaiste's counterpart in Israel, Eli Cohen, to the Taoiseach's tweet was bizarre in how he distorted what the Taoiseach said. The Irish ambassador to Israel was reprimanded. In the past eight weeks, has the Government reprimanded the Israeli ambassador to Ireland for some of the absolutely bizarre things she and her officials have put on social media?
