Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has welcomed an agreement at the European Council on Gaza with the 27 Leaders agreeing on the need for a humanitarian pause for the release of all hostages and admission of large volumes of food and medicine leading to a sustained ceasefire.
“It’s good that we finally have unanimous agreement at EU level on Gaza. Collectively, we condemned Hamas’s terrorist actions, called for a ceasefire, rapid access of humanitarian aid to relieve the suffering of the civilian population in Gaza, the release of hostages, an end to the expansion of illegal settlements, and a two-State solution.
“We now have a common position very much in line with the public position of the Irish Government.”
