After the International Court of Justice (ICJ) declared the Zionist regime’s presence in occupied Palestinian territories illegal, Prime Minister Harris emphasized the need for EU countries to reconsider their trade agreements with Israel. The ICJ ruling urges all nations to work towards ending the illegal occupation, marking a significant shift in policy.
Harris stated that Ireland will not wait for EU consensus and plans to unilaterally suspend trade with Israel on products from the West Bank. He highlighted the recent attacks on UN peacekeeping forces by Israel, calling for respect for international laws protecting Irish soldiers serving in Lebanon under UNIFIL.
With Ireland advocating for human rights in Gaza and pushing for EU action, Harris’s proactive stance reflects a growing recognition of the urgency to address the Palestinian issue. As the EU-Persian Gulf Cooperation Council summit approaches, Ireland’s bold actions send a clear message of solidarity with the Palestinian cause and a commitment to upholding international law.
