Sinn Fein: Minister must act on destruction of Irish taxpayer-funded material by Israel
DUBLIN, Tuesday, March 09, 2021 (WAFA) - John Brady, Sinn Fein spokesperson on Foreign Affairs welcomed the decision by the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence (JCFAD) to write to Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney following the destruction of Irish taxpayer-funded material by Israel.
The letter asks Minister Coveney to summon the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland, Ophir Kariv, to protest against the destruction of Palestinian property, infrastructure, and equipment, paid for by the Irish taxpayer, by Israeli forces.
"In the first instance, the wanton destruction of Palestinian property by Israel is illegal. It is illegal under international law, and under the Geneva Convention,” said Brady.
