this House and those across the EU and the international community must keep the pressure on for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, full humanitarian access and a return to diplomacy. The stakes and the continued impact on civilians could not be higher. The time
time for a bolder and more tailored approach. Gaza is not just facing a humanitarian crisis. It is facing annihilation. Ceasefires must hold, hostages must be released and aid must flow.
Beyond the emergency, we need to ask ourselves what role can we play in ensuring this never

whereby this type of hard military action would not be taking place.
Obviously, the only way forward is discussion, negotiation and reaching a ceasefire to allow room and scope for a proper discussion and a long-term settlement to be put in place. I by no means underestimate
hands in its international peacekeeping engagements. The veto by a UN Security Council member on a proposed resolution for a full and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza on 4 June last is further evidence of this. It is simply untenable for this Government to continue with this policy

The Green Party has consistently advocated for humanitarian access, a sustained ceasefire, the release of hostages and an end to the genocidal actions of the Israeli Government.
