Israel strongly criticized by the Tánaiste for mass killing of children.

Iosrael cáinte go láidir ag an Tánaiste faoi ollmharú leanaí.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tánaiste Micheál Martin, has said that he is horrified by the high number of people killed in the bombing attack carried out by Israeli forces on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza yesterday.

Tá sé ráite ag an Aire Gnóthaí Eachtracha, an Tánaiste Micheál Martin, go bhfuil uafás air faoin líon ard daoine a maraíodh san ionsaí buamála a rinne fórsaí Iosrael ar champa teifeach Jabalia i dtuaisceart Gaza inné.

In a statement, Micheál Martin said that the Irish Government had said frankly and often that although the Israelis have the right to defend themselves they must comply with International Humanitarian Law.

I ráiteas, dúirt Micheál Martin go raibh sé ráite go neamhbhalbh agus go minic ag Rialtas na hÉireann cé go bhfuil sé de cheart ag na hIosraelaigh iad féin a chosaint nach mór dóibh cloí leis an Dlí Daonnúil Idirnáisiúnta.

That means, he said, that a distinction must be made (between military and civilians), and that action must be taken according to needs, proportionately and carefully.

Ciallaíonn sé sin, arsa sé, go gcaithfear idirdhealú a dhéanamh (idir lucht airm agus sibhialtaigh), agus go gcaithfear gníomhú de réir riachtanais, go comhréireach agus go cúramach.

Civilians must also be protected, he said.

Caithfear sibhialtaigh a chosaint freisin, a dúirt sé.

As the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, said Micheál Martin, International Humanitarian Law cannot be applied on a selective basis.

Mar a dúirt Ard-Rúnaí na Náisiún Aontaithe António Guterres, arsa Micheál Martin, ní féidir an Dlí Daonnúil Idirnáisiúnta a chur i bhfeidhm ar bhonn roghnach.

He also said in his statement that the United Nations revealed yesterday that more children have been killed in Gaza since October 7 than have been killed in conflicts around the world combined since 2019.

Dúirt sé ina ráiteas chomh maith gur thug na Náisiúin Aontaithe le fios inné gur maraíodh níos mó páistí in Gaza ón 7 Deireadh Fómhair ná mar a maraíodh i gcoimhlintí ar fud an domhain le chéile ó 2019.

We cannot allow this to continue, it must be stopped, he said.

Ní féidir linn ligean dó seo leanúint ar aghaidh, caithfear deireadh a chur leis, arsa sé.

The Tánaiste said that ceasefires should be implemented, humanitarian aid allowed into Gaza and exit routes opened, as recommended by the European Union.

Dúirt an Tánaiste gur cheart sosanna comhraic a chur i bhfeidhm, cabhair dhaonnúil a ligean isteach in Gaza agus bealaí amach as a oscailt, mar atá á mholadh ag an Aontas Eorpach.

We can't wait any longer, he said.

Ní féidir linn fanacht níos faide, arsa sé.
