In his first remarks after being elected as the new prime minister of Ireland, Simon Harris strongly condemned Israel for its actions in Gaza. Harris expressed deep concern over the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Gaza, where innocent civilians, including children, women, and men, are suffering from starvation and violence.
Harris addressed lawmakers in the Irish parliament, stating, 'In Gaza, we are witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe. We have not been silent on the unforgivable terrorist actions of Hamas, nor can we be silent on the disproportionate reaction of the Israeli government.'
