Irish Prime Minister: Israel engaging in collective punishment in Gaza

Friday 13-October-2023

Israel is engaging in collective punishment and does not have the right to breach international law in its response to Gaza Irish premier Leo Varadkar has said.

Varadkar also called for the opening of a humanitarian corridor to allow aid to reach Palestinians.

Varadkar further stressed that Israel doesn&rsquot have the right to do wrong.

“I&rsquom really concerned about what I&rsquom seeing happening in Gaza at the moment” he added.

“To me it amounts to collective punishment. Cutting off power cutting off fuel and water supplies that’s not the way a respectable democratic state should conduct itself” the premier underlined.

Israel’s strike on Gaza has leveled entire neighborhoods killing more than 1500 people more than 60% of them women and children according to the Gaza health ministry.

More than 340000 people have been displaced or 15% of Gaza’s population.
