"As Israeli representatives sat beside the Irish delegation in the vast hall of the UN General Assembly yesterday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin told leaders that Ireland would prevent members of the Israeli government from entering Ireland."
"Mr Martin told those gathered that "to do nothing is not neutrality, it is complicity"."
Micheál Martin announced that Ireland will prevent members of the Israeli government from entering Ireland. The declaration followed delegates walking out of the UN General Assembly while the Israeli prime minister spoke. Israeli representatives sat beside the Irish delegation in the vast General Assembly hall as the statement was delivered. Martin framed inaction as moral culpability, saying "to do nothing is not neutrality, it is complicity." The announcement signals a concrete diplomatic measure and a stance linking neutrality to active responses against perceived wrongdoing.
