I welcome the Israel-Palestine resolution that passed in the European Parliament. This resolution is not perfect & doesn't fully reflect the situation on the ground, but it crucially calls for a humanitarian pause to hostilities, & for this reason, we chose to support the resolution.

I, and 30 other MEPs have written to Ursula von der Leyen, Valdis Dombrovskis and Bernd Lange this morning urging a review of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. We cannot sit and watch idly as atrocities are committed and innocent people in Gaza suffer. See the letter below 👇

We have arrived at a situation where Israel's need has become a moral code, separate and distinct from international humanitarian law & the rules of conflict. Ireland demands an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. If the EU won't lead on this, Member States must. #EPlenary

Deeply disappointed by today's vote in Strasbourg. Billy Kelleher MEP and I could not vote in favour of the resolution on the conflict in Gaza due to the inclusion of conditionality clauses by the EPP re a permanent ceasefire in #Gaza. Other progressive amendments were also

I would like to commend all those Irish 🇮🇪 artists that have boycotted SXSW festival in the past week over US Army & defence companies' sponsorship. Providing aid to #Gaza with one hand and bombs to #Israel with the other is absurd. Do you really think #Palestinian women &

This is beyond unbearable. Savagery. Pure savages.

To save your supporters some time, be assured that the Fianna Fáil delegation will be voting against such proposals and have campaigned tirelessly to protect UNRWA funding… if you don’t believe us, ask UNRWA.

Oh dear, even in-house fact checking proving a challenge for matthew karnitschnig. Not a good look for a supposed Editor-in-Chief. We've a rigorous research quality assurance methodology at Amnesty, happy to share! All part of our efforts to fight fake news & support media integrity.

I have called on @KajaKallas, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the @EUCommission, to take immediate action to address the issue of the ban on UNRWA by the Israeli Knesset. Together with Tineke Strik and @matjaznemec, I have

I welcome the decision of the EU to review its trade agreement with Israel. Myself and other MEPs called for this in November 2023. 18 months and 50,000 deaths later, the EU has finally found a way to condemn collective punishment, forced displacement, targeting of civilians and
