Gary Gannon (SD), Dublin Central

Could the Tánaiste outline whether he expressed that Ireland is protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza? Was the ambassador summoned with that purpose in mind, namely, for us to outline that under the Geneva Convention Israel is obliged to avoid genocide, indicate that we feel that what is happening in Gaza meets the criterion in that regard and to ask Israel to account for itself? This is a specific obligation. Could the Tánaiste indicate whether we outlined our fears that a potential genocide is taking place in Gaza? Did he outline the fact that journalists are being wantonly targeted and that the bombing of hospitals has occurred? Will the Tánaiste give us more details about his conversation with the Israeli ambassador, because it is very important?
