Sinn Féin: Party Will Not Attend White House for St Patrick's Day
Sinn Féin continues its White House boycott to protest US support for Israel in Gaza, while maintaining ties with US lawmakers and Irish American groups.
- On Monday, Sinn Féin confirmed it will not attend St Patrick's Day events at the White House this year.
- The boycott began last year as a protest over U.S. President Donald Trump's administration's support for Israel during its war in Gaza, with Sinn Féin saying the situation in Gaza and the West Bank remains dire.
- Mary Lou McDonald said `For all of the talk of a ceasefire, Israeli attacks on Gaza have not ended. Civilians are still being killed. Families who have already lost everything continue to live under fire` and urged Sinn Féin to demand that international law is upheld.
- Speaking at Stormont, First Minister Michelle O'Neill described the decision to avoid the White House as 'absolutely the right call' and framed it as standing on the right side of history and calling out what she described as genocide.
- While Sinn Féin boycotts White House events, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed he will meet President Trump next month and continues US engagement, the party said.
