Irish Party Demands Government Action on Palestine Recognition, Divestment from Israeli Settlements
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In a bold move, the Irish political party Sinn Féin has intensified its call for the Irish government to formally recognize the state of Palestine and divest from Israeli companies profiting from illegal settlements in the West Bank. Sinn Féin spokesperson on Irish Foreign Affairs, Matt Carthy TD, has urged Tánaiste Micheál Martin to use his visit to the Middle East as an opportunity to make these significant announcements.

Speaking passionately about the need for Ireland to take a stand, Carthy stated that mere condemnation of Israeli crimes is insufficient; tangible steps must be taken to pressure Israel into ending its occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people. “Ireland should show international leadership on this issue and not wait for a European consensus that may never come,” he emphasized.

Criticism was also leveled at the Irish government for postponing the Sinn Féin ‘Illegal Israeli Settlement Divestment Bill’ until next February. Carthy contended that this delay could inadvertently channel Irish taxpayers’ money into supporting the Israeli apartheid regime, a move he deemed unacceptable.

The timing of the Tánaiste’s visit to the Middle East is particularly significant, occurring amidst heightened violence and tension in the region. The recent Israeli assault on the Jenin refugee camp, resulting in the tragic deaths of 12 Palestinians, including five children, has further intensified global concerns.

Carthy urged Micheál Martin to utilize this visit as an opportunity to convey Ireland’s unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people, emphasizing their inherent right to self-determination and statehood. He maintained that historical precedent suggested that the Israeli occupation would persist in its perceived aggressive and discriminatory policies against Palestinians unless the international community took a resolute stand against them, and he argued that Ireland should be among the first nations to do so.

Carthy said, “History tells us that Israel will not stop its aggressive and discriminatory policies until the world says stop, and Ireland should be among the first countries to say so.” His call for the Irish government to take decisive action is resonating with those who believe that concrete steps are necessary to address the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

The spokesperson’s call for Irish recognition of Palestine and divestment from companies profiting from Israeli settlements marks a significant step in the ongoing global debate surrounding the Palestinian issue. As the region remains embroiled in strife, Carthy’s message resonates as a call for meaningful action and international accountability.
