============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

The Minister visited Saudi Arabia last summer. Did he speak to his counterpart in regards to not only the human rights violations in Saudi Arabia, but also the situation in Yemen?
Has the Minister spoken to his counterparts in the EU about action against Saudi Arabia? What is going on in Yemen is war crimes, not according to me but according to NGOs and civic bodies, on the basis of the ongoing bombing of civilian areas. If there was ever a need for unity on violence against Yemen, it is in this situation.
Obviously, people are angered by what is going on in Yemen. On 26 March, people from Saudi Arabia and Yemen who live here are holding a day of action against the ongoing war crimes against Yemen.
