Ireland says Israel’s suggestion it should accept Palestinians from Gaza ‘unhelpful’
Ireland’s Foreign Ministry rejects a suggestion by Defense Minister Israel Katz that the country should accept displaced Palestinians from Gaza.
“The objective must be a massive scale up of aid into Gaza, return of basic services and a clear framework under which those displaced can return,” the ministry says in an emailed statement.
“Any comments to the contrary are unhelpful and a source of distraction.”
