Post-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-24
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I have a follow-up question on whether anything in particular has happened in respect of the EU-Israel association agreement and the humanitarian conditions. Deputy Howlin referenced a framework and working with whomever we can work with in the EU and beyond, but particularly the Arab world. Obviously, we should do that. Are we looking at whether anything can be done with partners out there that comes close to any sort of sanction on Israel? Are we going to make an assessment ourselves of the danger of genocide in Gaza? I still do not understand why we cannot just give vocal support to what South Africa is doing.
