Irish lawmakers appeal to the government to reevaluate and grant visas to Gaza students denied entry, arguing it reflects a regression in the country's historically progressive policy towards Palestine and a failure to support vulnerable young scholars
to grant visas to the Gaza n students accepted by our universities but unable to travel to Ireland to take their places due to visa refusals, I ask Micheál Martin and Simon Harris to re-evaluate the Government’s position on this issue.
Ireland has traditionally had progressive policies towards Palestine/Israel. However, when faced with the opportunity to support a group of young students from the destroyed territory of Gaza, it is inhumane and retrogressive to refuse these visas. Are we going backwards regarding our former and long-term principles in supporting justice for the Palestinians of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem?
