He told The Europe Conversation that this raises very significant issues for the European Union and the human rights laws which are central to the bloc’s existence. \u201cIn my view, this constitutes a war crime,\u201d the Irish Prime Minister, who belongs to the Fianna F\u00e1il party, said. \u201cAnd I don’t say that easily.\u201d He argued that he is in favour of a resolution, and wants the release of the hostages, stating it is \u201cshocking to take people as hostages\u201d. In November 2023, Martin visited a kibbutz where around 10% of the population was attacked during the 7 October attack by Hamas. \u201cI went to see, first hand, the impact of the horrific Hamas attack on Israel. I’ve condemned it from the outset when I went there to show empathy to people who have been attacked,\u201d he said, adding that the hostages should have been released a long time ago. He said however that the war waged in response has \u201clost any moral compass in terms of its unacceptable impact on the civilian population and on children\u201d. \u201cAnd in Ireland, there is this sadness now and horror and a sense of helplessness at what we see on our TV screens: young children in stretchers and hospitals, very badly injured. Many families being wiped out, kids being orphaned. From a humanity point of view, it’s beyond comprehension.\u201d The Taoiseach denounced what he called Israel\u2019s \u201cdoubling down\u201d in terms of intensification of the war on the ground. \u201cI know that Israel would say, well, Hamas is in the hospitals and so forth. But children need basic access to medicine,\u201d he said. \u2018Hell on Earth\u2019Martin met with Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels on Thursday, discussing matters ranging from trade and support for Ukraine to the Middle East. During this meeting, the Taoiseach shared his concerns about the ongoing humanitarian crisis. \u201cI think the president heard clearly my perspective on it. And I think she understands where I’m coming from and where others are coming from,\u201d Martin said. \u201cI anticipate that there will be a lot of thinking across Europe on this issue.\u201d While he welcomed the European Union\u2019s announcement of the recent \u20ac1.6 billion financial support package for Palestinians, Martin noted that, when it comes to a response, he doesn\u2019t believe there is a consensus within the European Union.\u201cI acknowledge and I understand the different backgrounds of member states, and the historic background that has informed member states’ approach to the Middle East,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there is an unacceptable level of death and destruction and displacement [in Gaza]. And it is, many people have said, going back to 2011, it’s hell on earth.\u201d He argued that the EU has been quick to communicate its concerns to other countries around the world when they violate territorial integrity, adding that this is fundamental to the European Union and what it stands for. Israel argued in the past that the restriction of aid is lawful and that Gaza still has enough available provisions.Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa’ar announced the closure of the Israeli embassy in Dublin in December last year due to what he described as the “extreme anti-Israel policy of the Irish government” which he characterised as “antisemitism”. ADVERTISEMENTLast month, Fine Gael – in coalition with Martin’s Fianna F\u00e1il – confirmed its delegates at the European People\u2019s Party’s Valencia congress refused to put their names to a motion condemning Hamas\u2019 October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel and calling for the release of remaining hostages, and defended the party\u2019s position, as reported. Euronews has contacted the Israeli embassy in Brussels and the mission of Israel to the EU and NATO for a response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
