Kildare TD calls for plight of Palestinian people 'not to be ignored' by international community
Fianna Fáil Spokesperson for Immigration, Integration and Equality Fiona O’Loughlin says the international community cannot turn its back on the Palestinian people.
Deputy O’Loughlin said, “The plight of the Palestinian people is becoming more desperate by the day. They are living under tremendous hardship and have no sense of security in their lives. They feel abandoned by the international community as there is no coherent peace process plan in place.
“The Palestinian people are facing enormous struggles when trying to lead their daily lives. There are serious concerns for the future if the conflict continues to escalate. Our own experience here in Ireland shows that the greatest of community divides can be bridged when people are committed to a peace process.
“It’s important that the international community steps up its efforts and puts pressure on both sides to commit to a peace process. We cannot turn our backs on the Palestinian people in their greatest hour of need,” concluded Deputy O’Loughlin.
