Middle East
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-09
============================================================

Joe Flaherty (FF), Longford-Westmeath

I commend the Tánaiste on his recent and very successful trips to both Egypt and Jordan. He has personally taken a firm lead in shining a global light on the continuing horrors in the Middle East. News reports this morning regarding a formal recognition by a number of EU states on 19 May of Palestine as a state are a direct result of the Tánaiste's cast-iron efforts in this regard. Will the Tánaiste comment on how this has transpired and what we can expect on 19 May?
