trading with the illegal occupation of the West Bank. That has to progress.
Regarding the EU-Israel trade agreement, the breaking of the ceasefire agreement by Israel and the denying of the population of Gaza access to humanitarian aid mean we are faced with another glaring trade issue
doctors watch people die before their eyes. This is the horrific result of the impunity handed to Israel. Netanyahu has shattered the ceasefire because he knew he could without consequence. These airstrikes have been launched with the support of the United States and only days after the Taoiseach
said this repeatedly. It is a fact of record that President Trump's envoy did act very effectively in terms of getting the ceasefire in the first instance. That is documented, along with the work of President Biden's envoy. On Ukraine

terms of Gaza and the Middle East, let us be clear. We want to consolidate the ceasefire and will be making that point very strongly. We want a surge in humanitarian aid into Gaza. The Arab peace initiative and the Arab proposals in respect of Gaza have come
Vladimir Putin did when he started this war three years ago. That attitude is not going to help. The reality is that any ceasefire or deal at this point that consolidates the position of the Russian forces in terms of occupying places such as Crimea must be unacceptable
Irish, European and global perspective, we must keep focusing on a step-by-step approach and consolidating getting the second stage of the ceasefire over the line and then ensuring there is a massive surge of humanitarian aid and the reconstruction of Gaza. We have pressed very strongly

welcome Deputy Kenny. I share Deputy Ó Laoghaire's sentiments on the need to step back from the brink in protecting the fragile ceasefire in place. We will have an opportunity to engage on that shortly.
To be clear, the Government and I, as the Tánaiste and leader
tariffs. I am asking specifically about governmental engagement on the ongoing issues in Palestine. We know about the dangers in relation to the ceasefire, the commentary from America that has not been helpful and the attacks that are ongoing in the West Bank at this time
have to be honest about that - there are some fundamental things on which people agree, that is, a cessation of violence, a ceasefire, the release of the hostages and, overwhelmingly, a two-state solution. That is where the European Union's focus has to remain, particularly
agree that we want to see the release of all hostages and that we want to ensure the ceasefire is maintained. Whatever happens, we are incredibly afraid that we are getting further and further away from the room and space for a two-state solution for peace, freedom
have said it already, so in the interests of time, I will not repeat it. Our immediate priority is making sure the ceasefire is maintained, the hostage release deal continues and humanitarian aid into Gaza is increased significantly. That is why we allocated €20 million more to UNRWA
doing. I made the point this morning that the most important thing now in relation to Gaza is to focus on the ceasefire and make sure that the second phase is confirmed, that all hostages are released and that a massive surge in humanitarian aid goes

I welcome the ceasefire and the release of the Israeli and Palestinian hostages, and I wish with all my heart that this piece will continue; however, even during

Having reluctantly agreed to a ceasefire, the Israeli Government of Netanyahu expressed its intentions to restart the campaign of slaughter and destruction at the first opportunity it gets. In reality
antisemitism in all its forms. Like my colleagues, I welcome that some of the hostages have been released and that there is a ceasefire. We have to call a spade a spade, however. The way that Israel has retaliated is morally wrong. Before its retaliation, the illegal occupation

contacts between Ireland and our fellow member states.
Everyone who believes in the cause of peace and basic values must hope that the ceasefire in Gaza holds and that we can quickly move to a massive programme of humanitarian aid and reconstruction. Gaza is, however, one part
united. I am very proud that Ireland speaks with a strong voice and it is one which cries out for a ceasefire, for the release of all hostages, for the flowing of humanitarian aid and ultimately for the peaceful coexistence of Israel and Palestine as two states.
