Sinn Féin's leaders have announced their decision to skip the traditional St. Patrick's Day event at the White House in protest against President Donald Trump's stance on the Gaza Peninsula. The party's leader, Mary Lou McDonald, criticized the Trump administration's position on Gaza, calling it 'catastrophically' wrong and expressing concerns about the threat of mass expulsion of the Palestinian people from Gaza.
President Trump's proposal to remove about 2 million Palestinians from Gaza for the purpose of U.S. ownership and redevelopment has been met with widespread rejection from Palestinians, Arab countries, and other world leaders. This controversial idea has also raised doubts about the existing ceasefire in the region.
