- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Middle East (10 Oct 2024)
Micheál Martin: That includes Hamas and Hezbollah. Equally, it includes the State of Israel in terms of, for example, these massive bunker bombs which take out hundreds of people in the name of taking out one commander.

The conflict, since the illegal Russian invasion in February 2022, continues to drive the numbers of people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.

Pádraig O'Sullivan: I thank the Minister of State. I acknowledge the announcement last month of that €36 million. It is very welcome.

One of the most reprehensible acts that has been done in the Ukraine-Russia conflict is the forced deportation of...
