Speaking yesterday, Mr Harris said it was “highly likely” more countries would follow Ireland and Spain in planning to recognise the state of Palestine. There was a “very clear view emerging” among European leaders that there needed to be “an immediate cessation of violence” in Gaza.Iran may choose ‘strategic patience’ rather than strike Israel

In a series of engagements ahead of a summit of EU leaders next week, Mr Harris discussed the war in Gaza, as well as the priorities of the European bloc for the coming years. Mr Harris said he did not believe the EU would take a united approach to the proposed recognition of Palestine. “By any fair analysis, Ireland has always condemned the atrocity Hamas committed on October 7th, and called for hostages to be released. The Taoiseach has repeatedly said it,” said the spokesman.
