The news that reached us last night about the review of the EU-Israel Association Agreement was very welcome. Unfortunately, our attempts and those of Spain to bring our EU counterparts to this position in February of last year were frustrated. Now at least a significant number of our EU colleagues have been equally appalled at the devastation inflicted on the Palestinian people. It is not just the EU that has now finally changed tack. Both the UK and Canada in the past few days have expressed their condemnation at what is happening and indicated a firmer stance in that regard. Does the Taoiseach agree that the EU now needs to look at an immediate suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement pending that review?
