As the House will be aware, the Global Sumud Flotilla was seized at gunpoint last night by the Israeli occupying forces. Seven Irish citizens have been arrested. This was and is a peaceful mission. The flotilla has not been fully intercepted. It is important that there is engagement by the Department and the Government to ensure the safety of the Irish citizens. This seizure took place near Greece, over 1,000 miles from Gaza. Israel has extended its borders into Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and now it is extending them into the EU. It is disappointing that nobody has stood up to Israel. As I said, this mission is off the coast of Greece. At this stage, the Israelis will be coming for us, knocking on our doors soon. The Irish Government is looking the other way. We see the contrast between the Government's condemnation of what is happening and the actions to ensure there are consequences for Israel, it is pretty stark. One the one hand, the Government talks about passing the occupied territories Bill and suspending trade pacts with Israel, yet it welcomes the football team of genocidal Israel here to play football. That is simply wrong and it is something we can make a stand on. We can show Israel that we will not facilitate its sportswashing. Some 565 footballers, management staff and referees have been murdered by Israel. How can we justify allowing Israel to play here? It is important that the Minister makes a statement on this and comes in here to explain what the Government will do to support the Irish citizens who have been kidnapped, again, by Israel.
