Israel has prevented thousands of Palestinians from returning to northern Gaza, citing alleged Hamas ceasefire violations.

This is just the beginning of addressing the immense humanitarian, and medical needs.

The EUs inaction is shameful. I’m probably being generous using the word inaction, the EU has actually been complicit in what has happened in Gaza over the last 15 months.
Israel has continued mass-killing of Palestinians amid ceasefire delays, as the EU pledged more humanitarian aid, but said it had little diplomatic sway on the war.

If the Government thinks that Ireland would suffer very damaging retaliatory measures if it enacted the Bill, it should put that entire calculation into the public domain.
If they believe their judgment is soundly based, why hide it?
