Micheál Martin expressed strong support for the EU's decision to review the association deal with Israel, advocating for its suspension pending this review. He addressed alarming comments from Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich regarding Gaza, labeling them as reprehensible. Martin highlighted the urgent need for a ceasefire and an influx of humanitarian aid into Gaza, stating that the ongoing situation is morally incomprehensible and demonstrated the necessity for an international delegation to assess the destruction in the region. He condemned both Hamas's actions and the Israeli Government's blockade.
"We need a ceasefire. We need a massive surge of humanitarian aid into Gaza. It is incomprehensible what is happening. It's beyond any moral compass."
"This is a senior minister of the Israeli Government articulating in no uncertain terms what the agenda is -- and it is absolutely reprehensible."
