Archbishop Eamon Martin emphasized the necessity of dialogue for reconciliation, urging those in positions of influence to diligently work towards restoring harmony in the face of conflict.
Despite severe criticism from Israel's foreign minister regarding Ireland's stance, Martin defended Irish sentiments, asserting, 'I do not feel that Irish people are antisemitic,' and described the opposition as 'emotional language'.
He acknowledged the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, stating, 'What has been happening in Gaza is a merciless use of weapons in the destruction of infrastructure,' highlighting the impact on civilians.
Martin pointed out that the vast majority in Ireland support the government's strong stance against violence towards civilians, underlining the need for humanitarian concerns to be addressed.
