Irish FM urges int’l community to stop Israeli war crimes in Gaza

The foreign minister of Ireland called Israel’s attack on northern Gaza as “a war crime”, urging the international community to stop the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian enclave.

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The foreign minister of Ireland called Israel’s attack on northern Gaza as “a war crime”, urging the international community to stop the Israeli aggression on the Palestinian enclave.

Micheál Martin said that the international community must use every lever at its disposal to put pressure on the Israeli regime to stop this war.

Martin described the scenes in Jabalia as “horrific” in a statement on Sunday, adding: “An offensive by the Israel Defence Forces, backed by tanks and air strikes, has left dozens of civilians dead, many close to starvation, and access to humanitarian aid extremely curtailed. An entire population is being encircled and forced out, with nowhere for them to go.”

For the ninth consecutive day, the Israeli occupation forces have continued their crimes and genocidal war against the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Indeed, the Israeli occupation army, supported by the US and Europe, has continued its attacks on the Gaza Strip for 373 days, with its aircraft bombing hospitals, schools, places of worship and homes of Palestinian civilians, destroying them over the heads of their residents. They also prevent the entry of water, food, medicine and fuel.

The ongoing aggression by the occupation on Gaza has killed at least 42,227 Palestinians, wounded more than 98,464 others and displaced 90 per cent of the population, according to data from the UN.
