Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

Yes, and I deplore the decision of the Knesset on that, but instead of backing away, we supported UNRWA with €20 million more. The Deputy referenced the ICJ case. We have sought to join it and have made a submission, something that many in the House said we would not do. We have seen how other countries have responded negatively to our decision, but I believe we are on the right side of history by doing it.
Every avenue we can explore, we are exploring. Regarding the occupied territories Bill, we have a clear commitment in the programme for Government and we will progress legislation. I will bring legislation----
