Independent Ireland nominate Maria Steen as presidential election candidate in major boost to Aras bid
"[Hamas] are reliant on them for figures in relation to the deaths. They are proscribed as a terrorist organisation. Israel is acting as a terrorist state. Both have to sit down at some stage. Let's look at Israel is doing; they are absolutely out of control. What they did on October 7 was absolutely unacceptable, both sides have committed war crimes and hopefully both sides will be held to account. But history did not start on the 7th of October."
"I abhor violence on any side, as a mother, as a female. And I will use my voice to promote peace in the world and peaceful solutions. As we speak today, we hear Trump about annexing more territory. We heard what he said he is going to turn Gaza strip into. It's very important we give perspective and we learn from our own history. Both sides have to disarm. We know that from the conflict in Northern Ireland, from Columbia, from all countries. We can't have a peaceful solution without. Netanyahu is on record for funding Hamas, millions in relation to [them] because it served his purpose to divide and conquer."
There is a genocide going on in Palestine. Every country has the right to self-determine how to govern. Hamas was elected in the last available election and is part of civil society, yet is proscribed as a terrorist organisation and has been repeatedly condemned. Israel is described as acting as a terrorist state and its actions after October 7 are characterized as out of control. Both sides have committed war crimes and should be held to account. Both sides need to disarm to enable a peaceful solution, drawing parallels with Northern Ireland and Colombia. Allegations exist that Netanyahu funded Hamas to divide and conquer.
