Simon Harris has defended his Government’s stance on Palestine, saying Ireland was the first EU country to call Israel’s actions genocide.

The Government has been pressured to ban trade with illegal Israeli settlements, introduce powers to remove the Irish Central Bank’s role in allowing the sale of Israel Bonds in the EU, and to stop flights reportedly carrying munitions to the Middle East from passing through Ireland.
