Gaza Puts Israel and Its Critics Centre Stage at UN
- Taoiseach Micheal Martin addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday, warning that the "full truth of what has happened" in Gaza will eventually "shame the world."

- Beyond Gaza, the General Assembly heard Martin condemn Russia's "reckless drone and missile attacks" on Ukraine, while highlighting threats facing women in Afghanistan and LGBTQI people globally.
- Martin argued that strengthening multilateral institutions like the International Criminal Court is vital, as "narrow self-interest" breaks the bonds of solidarity essential to maintaining the international legal order.
