EU leaders meet in Brussels over Middle East, Ukraine and potential US trade war
Taoiseach Micheál Martin stated that the Occupied Territories Bill, aimed at banning trade with occupied territories, is unlikely to immediately impact the Israeli government's decisions or its bombing campaign in Gaza. He called for Europe and the US to pressure Israel to stop the bombing and condemned the recent violence, including statements from Israeli politicians. The EU is working on a statement deploring the bombing. Martin also addressed the EU summit regarding the war in Ukraine.
