Resolution on Gaza at breaking point: EU action to combat famine, the urgent need to release hostages and move towards a two-state solution
The Fianna Fáil delegation supported the resolution on Gaza, voted 11/09/2025 and would like to clarify some of their votes: AMD 32: The claim that the European Commission can unilaterally end Israel's participation in Horizon Europe is incorrect, and therefore we could not support this amendment. AMD 35: We support the suspension of Israeli involvement in EU programmes and agreements, however we believe it would not be wise to fully terminate these agreements at this time. AMD 45: We fully support the call on Member States to adopt measures to block the transit of fuel and military equipment destined for Israel. It is important to stress that the Irish Government has already confirmed that such transit is not happening through Ireland. AMD 53: Fianna Fáil supports the call on other institutions to end the approval of the sale of Israeli war bonds, as the Central Bank of Ireland has already done. However, it should be stressed that at no point did the Central Bank of Ireland sell Israeli bonds. Their role was solely to assess and approve the prospectuses, which is not an endorsement of the issuer of the bond or the use of its proceeds.
