Leo Varadkar says it is important to keep ‘some line of communications open’ while rejecting any suggestion that Ireland indirectly funds Hamas
There are no plans to expel the Israeli ambassador to Ireland, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said in the Dáil on Tuesday.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday, Adi Ophir Maoz, the deputy head of mission in Dublin, stated: “#Ireland Wondering who funded those tunnels of terror? A short investigation direction – 1. Find a mirror 2. Direct it to yourself 3.
“They might even just do us a degree of harm,” he said. “Sanctions are only effective when they’re imposed multilaterally by states acting together. “We have citizens in Palestine. We have citizens in Israel, we have citizens in Russia, it’s important that we’re able to keep those lines of communication open.Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald asked the Taoiseach would he tell leaders at a meeting of the European Council on Thursday that they must call for “an unequivocal full ceasefire” and demand Israel it stop its slaughter of the Palestinian people.
Mr Varadkar later added that if Ms McDonald ever had the opportunity to attend a European Council meeting, whether as a minister or even as Taoiseach, “you’ll understand that there are 27 different member states and they all have their different perspective.
