During the St. Patrick’s Day celebrations at the White House, US President Joe Biden and Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar discussed the ongoing war in Gaza, which has been a significant concern for both leaders. The conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has been a focal point of discussions as the taoiseach visits Washington, with Ireland facing pressure to advocate for a ceasefire in meetings with US officials.
Support for the Palestinian cause is deeply rooted in Ireland, with many drawing parallels between the struggles of Palestinians and the history of Ireland. The taoiseach highlighted this shared history during his address, emphasizing the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
