Post-European Council Meeting: Statements Dail Éireann — 2025-11-19 ============================================================ Thomas Byrne (FF), Meath East I have been saying for some months that the EU has leverage and should use it. We call for the measures President von der Leyen put forward in September and certainly support them. We do not believe they should be taken off the table while illegal occupations and annexations continue. There is an embryonic peace process that we want to support to bring genuine peace to the people of Palestine and Israel. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
