Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

We have to work more immediately in terms of pressure on Israel and pressurise it in more immediate ways internationally to get it to stop doing what it is doing. That is where our focus is. There has to be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. We are part of the West Bank Protection Consortium, which has sought compensation of close to €1.3 million in respect of confiscated or demolished assets since 2015. This consortium is made up of a number of donor countries that contribute to Palestine and the West Bank and are seeking compensation from the Israeli Government in respect of buildings it has destroyed such as schools. We fund the consortium.
