We must do more to stop the horror in Gaza. Yesterday, we learned of the horrific situation of Dr. Alaa al-Najjar, a doctor in Gaza who was working to save lives in a hospital when she learned that nine of her ten children had been killed in an Israeli bombardment, that her husband, another doctor, was critically ill, and that only one child was left alive. Thousands of children have been killed or left orphaned by the devastating genocide by Israel. Tomorrow, we will use Labour's Private Members' time to call on the Government to move a motion at the UN General Assembly seeking a sustainable peace and an international peacekeeping force in Gaza. I look forward to that debate but I ask the Taoiseach to do more. Today, the Tánaiste has sought approval for a new occupied territories Bill. This cannot represent a watering down of Frances Black's original Bill, which we in Labour co-sponsored. The Bill needs to include trade in services. We need to do everything in our power to stop the horrific war crimes Israel is carrying out on the people of Gaza.

We will not be opposing Labour's motion tomorrow-----

I thank the Taoiseach.

-----in respect of actions at the United Nations because we are fundamentally multilateralist. We have worked on the Gaza issue with many like-minded states within the United Nations. Many of the votes on the Middle East reflect that approach by Ireland. We have worked with Arab partner states on a peace process in the Middle East. We supported them and helped in respect of formulating a peace plan in the early part of this war. It is unfortunate that it did not get more widespread support from the international community at the time, including the US. That was problematic. We recognised the State of Palestine. Shortly afterwards, the accusation was that that was only symbolic even though everybody in here had asked for it.

They had been asking for three years.

The occupied territories Bill will come before the Dáil. That in itself will not change Israel. We need to be realistic.

The Taoiseach is right; only sanctions will do so.

Please, Deputy McDonald.

We need a collective approach. I am cautious about saying it but the EU-Israel association agreement is now under review by the European External Action Service.
