If anyone has any illusions about Fine Gaels position on Gaza, let this be a good warning.

Paschal Donohoe had a secret phone call with his Israeli counterpart to assure him the Irish government would “block” the Occupied Territories Bill.
Donohoe didn’t record the call, which the Israeli side called "confidential", in his ministerial diary.
