Summary
De Rossa sought an Adjournment discussion of Ireland’s abstention on a UN resolution condemning Israeli security-force actions in the occupied territories; the Chair would communicate with him.
In the few minutes available, I seek permission to raise on the Adjournment the reasons Ireland abstained on a resolution yesterday at the United Nations Human Rights Commission which condemned recent actions by Israeli security forces in the occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and which have led to the deaths of more than 50 Palestinians and the injuring of hundreds more.
