Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met President Michael D. Higgins, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, and Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney today.
Coveney had invited Abbas to come to Ireland at their meeting in Ramallah in January.
To coincide with the visit, the Tánaiste announced additional funding of 1 million to the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
Ireland is a longstanding supporter of UNRWAs vital work in delivering healthcare, education and food to 5.3 million Palestine refugees. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East region has meant an increased demand for UNRWAs services but funding has not kept pace with requirements., Coveney said.
He added that the recent US decision to cease all funding to UNRWA has made the agencys situation even more precarious. [ ]
The stopover in Ireland comes on Abbass journey to the annual United Nations General Assembly in New York, where hes to give a speech that is feared could trigger an upsurge in violence in the occupied West Bank as well as the Gaza Strip.

Keeping terrorism alive — all for politics.
Ireland has a population of about 5 million.
Maybe they should just switch places.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have a new influx of cash to pay off the suicide bombers.......Ireland didn’t do it’s homework to say the least.

Pay to Slay gets a new source of funding.
Laugh it off, secular world. Maybe it won’t happen.
No, not really. It absolutely will happen. Learn it the hard way, I suppose.
Zechariah 14:1-3 KJV
14 Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Oh, I’d say that the Eurocrats running Ireland know exactly what they’re doing.
I was checking the channel guide earlier, and the BBCW had some 1/2 hour show whose description went ~ “...the two million Palestinians being forced into poverty and mental illness by the Israeli blockage (embargo?)...We explore the effects of that Israeli-induced mental illnesses...”
Maybe free abortions for them too?
And the GCC (Saudi, UAE, Qatar, etc) give what?
Good! Waste your money, you fools!
They should build a town for the ‘poor’ Palestinians and let them live there for free...
This disgusts me. I am sure that money could be put to better use elsewhere. My Irish cousins are coming for a visit in November. It will be difficult to keep my opinion to myself if this topic comes up.
And free abortions in Ireland now,too. Guess theyll be welcoming the Palis to take up the slack in their dying Cathoiic country.
Dying Catholic country?
Now they can do all sorts of perverted stuff and still be part of bergoglio’s homo church.
Free abortions and now this I guess Ireland’s just floating in cash. Until they’re not.
No surprise to me as there has always been a big pro Palestinian sentiment in Ireland. Pretty disgusting. We had an Irish priest one time and he was going on and on about awful Israel, the Jews and their treatment of Palestinians. My father, God rest his soul, told Father R in no uncertain terms that he was an Anti-Semite and needed to confess it! Father R shut up and never brought up the subject around us ever again.
Ireland lost the faith sometime between my childhood and now. It seems they have gone the way of wacko European leftists.
