Israel must uphold its obligations under international law, including ensuring the safety, welfare and humane treatment of the Irish citizens illegally detained in international waters. In that context, I again call for their immediate release.
My Department, including our Embassy in Israel, is actively engaging with the Israeli authorities to secure immediate consular access and support for the Irish citizens involved.
We are also in direct contact with the families of those affected and with the flotilla organisers, and stand ready to provide all necessary consular assistance.
