Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said that her party will support a Social Democrats motion next week to expel the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland Dana Erlich.
It is “really alarming and really dangerous” that Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israeli Government has “refused to agree to a ceasefire”, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said.
“The issue here at the heart of the current conflict is to achieve the ceasefire,” she told reporters. “More broadly, it is the only way in which the international community can constructively put together a process by which these issues which are generations in the making, can be finally addressed and resolved."
Asked why the Sinn Féin motion did not call to expel, Ms McDonald said that there was a “growing view right across Irish politics and probably Irish society, that the issue of sanctions and consequences for Israel has to be addressed”. Ms McDonald also confirmed that Sinn Féin will support the Social Democrats’ motion to expel Ms Erlich.
