US EditionGAA Palestine travels to Jordan with Irish tour cancelled
PALESTINE, JUL 18 – After visa denials halted their Ireland tour, 47 members of GAA Palestine shifted plans to Jordan for a 10-day summer camp featuring coaching and cultural activities.
- GAA Palestine cancelled their planned summer tour to Ireland for 33 children and 14 mentors on July 19, redirecting the team to a ten-day camp in Amman, Jordan.

- Stephen Redmond, GAA Palestine chairman, said the initiative supports Palestinian children with trauma training, education aid, and fosters long-term fraternal friendship beyond political divides.
- Despite disappointment, GAA Palestine frames the Jordan camp as a resilient breakthrough, while urging supporters to join a National Demonstration for Palestine in Dublin on July 19.
