Call for Discussion over Suspension of EU-Israel Deal
Martin said the bloc should weigh sanctions as at least 12 Irish citizens were detained from the Global Sumud Flotilla, organisers said.
- Taoiseach Martin has written to President Costa, urging him to place the detention of Global Sumud Flotilla activists on the agenda for the Brussels summit on 18 and 19 June.
- Martin described the conduct of Itamar Ben-Gvir as "unacceptable," citing footage showing the Israeli taunting detainees held in captivity.
- At least 12 Irish citizens are among hundreds of participants currently detained by the Israeli Defence Forces, according to organizers.
- Martin urged the European Council to consider suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement, asserting a "business-as-usual" approach is inappropriate given Israel's disregard for international norms.
- Ahead of the Irish European presidency beginning 1 July, Martin will discuss these concerns with French President Emmanuel Macron tomorrow and Italian Giorgia Meloni.
