It is expressing our very deepest concern regarding several measures by the Israeli Government that contravene human rights and violate international law and international humanitarian law and condemns the shocking treatment of EU citizens, including Irish citizens, from the Sumud flotilla. Since the Gaza ceasefire, 834 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed and over 2,300 injured in Israeli military operations.
I am asking Ireland to honour its obligations under international law to pass the occupied territories Bill in full for goods and services, to ban settlement trade, and to show the Palestinian people, the Irish people and the international community that we mean what we say. I want to be clear to the House that the Government distinguishes between the policies of the current Israeli Government and the Israeli people.
