Statement on Gaza Ceasefire

We welcome the long overdue ceasefire and hope to see it made permanent. Aid, water and electricity must be returned to Gaza, alongside justice for lsraeli war crimes.

The Government must

  • Ban visas for Israelis in the Occupied Territories.

  • Freeze Israeli funds held in Irish state institutions.

  • Divest public funds from Israeli bodies and institutions.

  • Pass the Ilegal Israeli Settlements Bill and end trade with illegal Israeli settlements.

  • Ensure that Israel is held to account for its flagrant war crimes.

Israel must

  • End the siege on Gaza and commit to a permanent ceasefire.

  • Allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

  • Obey the International Court of Justice orders and cooperate fully with their investigation.

  • End the occupation of Palestine.

The United States, United Kingdom & European Union must

  • End the sale of arms and military equipment to Israel.

  • End the EU Israel Association Agreement.

  • End trade with illegal Israel settlements and implement sanctions on Israel.

  • Work for a permanent ceasefire and compel Israel to end its illegal occupation.

  • Actively support a two state solution and recognise the state of Palestine

    Óige Ghlas/Young Greens will continue to strongly advocate for the above until we achieve a Free Palestine
