Ireland, alongside foreign ministers from Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Slovenia, and Spain, expressed serious concerns about Israel's military operations in Gaza. They warn that such actions threaten the viability of a two-state solution and could worsen the humanitarian crisis. The ministers emphasize the need for Israel to lift the blockade on Gaza, allowing unrestricted humanitarian aid and opposing any actions that would forcibly displace the Palestinian population or alter Gaza's demographics. Their joint statement reflects deepening international apprehension over the escalating conflict.
A further military escalation in Gaza will only exacerbate an already catastrophic situation for the civilian Palestinian population and threaten the lives of the hostages that remain in captivity.
We firmly reject any demographic or territorial change in Gaza, including any scheme that would force or facilitate the permanent displacement of its population, in violation of international law.
