The Taoiseach expressed concern that European credibility has diminished due to the EU's lack of action regarding the violence in Gaza. He noted this inaction starkly contrasts with the swift measures and multiple sanction packages implemented against Russia following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. This perceived inconsistency in the EU's response to significant global events may affect Irish sentiment towards the bloc, highlighting a growing disillusionment among the Irish populace regarding Europe’s role and effectiveness in international conflicts.
The Taoiseach stated that European credibility has "taken a hit" due to the EU's inadequate response to the "slaughter in Gaza," contrasting it with prompt actions against Russia after its invasion of Ukraine.
Micheál Martin emphasized that the lack of action by the EU regarding the situation in Gaza shows a decline in Irish support for the bloc, as their responses seem disproportionate compared to other conflicts.
