President Michael D. Higgins has issued a blistering critique of the situation in Gaza, saying it is scandalous that humanitarian aid and medical supplies are being blocked from entering the coastal strip.
He added that those nations responsible for allowing the blockade to continue “must take responsibility for the deaths that are ensuing”.
The President also criticized a “propaganda campaign” against the United Nations and called on countries to increase aid for the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA).
Several countries, including the US and UK, have paused funding for the relief agency in Gaza following claims from Israel that some UNRWA staff took part in the Hamas attack on 7 October.
In a statement this afternoon, President Higgins said: “The releasing of a propaganda campaign against the United Nations is a scandalous travesty against the little less than heroic efforts of all those involved on the front line in Gaza — medical staff, those working to supply nutrition and aid in the most trying of circumstances, and those other dedicated professionals in UNRWA who have lost more than 160 of their colleagues.” …

He’s such a fag.

That’s the Prime Minister.
The Irish disease has taken another.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Higgins is also.
He has a daughter, but you never know.
Exactly.
They turned away from God.
My heritage is half from Ireland as I am a Brady, yet this clown is a faggot wannabe Irish piece of shite. What they are allowing is unreal / (same as I see here in my republic) they are /need to go back to war...as we should (within our own borders) until your nation is defined once again.
Ireland (UK) is one of, if not the number one, most suicidal self hating white nations ever. I can’t think of another white Christian nation that has moved so fast to destroy itself.
Ireland (UK)?
To me, that says Northern Ireland, since they’re part of the UK. The Republic of Ireland is still a vassal state of the EU.
Indeed, how did this leftist queer get elected President?
