The Taoiseach is optimistic about Irish people in Gaza.

Dóchas ag an Taoiseach faoi Éireannaigh i nGaza.

The Taoiseach has said that he had "sound talks" today that Irish citizens would be allowed to leave Gaza, and that the little Irish-Israeli girl who is being held hostage by Hamas would be released.

Tá an Taoiseach tar éis a rá go raibh "cainteanna fóinteacha" inniu aige go mbeadh cead ag saoránaigh de chuid na hÉireann Gaza a fhágáil, agus go scaoilfí saor an cailín beag Gael-Iosraelach atá á coinneáil ina giall creidtear ag Hamas.

Leo Varadkar spoke today with Egypt's Foreign Minister, the Prince of Jordan and the Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority at the ongoing Gaza disaster conference in Paris.

Labhair Leo Varadkar inniu leis an Aire Gnóthaí Eachtracha atá ag an Éigipt, le Prionsa na hIordáine agus le Príomhaire Údarás na Palaistíne ag an gcomhdháil faoi thubaiste Ghaza atá ar bun i bPáras.

The Taoiseach said that reports were given to the conference from people struggling with the land comb in the narrow region that the water system and the sewage system are giving away, and that there is a great danger that thousands will soon be lost a day.

Dúirt an Taoiseach gur tugadh tuairiscí don chomhdháil ó dhaoine ag streachailt leis an gcíor thuathail san réigiún cúng go bhfuil an córas uisce agus an córas séarachais ag tabhairt uaidh, agus go bhfuil contúirt mhór ann gur gearr go gcaillfear na mílte sa ló.

He also said there were fears that the fighting would spread to the West Bank and Lebanon.

Dúirt sé freisin go raibh faitíos ann go scaipfeadh an chogaíocht go dtí an Bruach Thiar agus an Liobáin.

Most of the heads of government and state from Europe and the Middle East were at the conference.

Bhí mórchuid ceann rialtais agus ceann stáit as an Eoraip agus an MeánOirthear ag an gcomhdháil.

Israel did not exist.

Ní raibh Iosrael ann.

After the Conference the Taoiseach requested that roadways be opened in the border between Gaza and Israel so that relief material could be brought into the besieged area.

Tar éis na Comhdhála d'iarr an Taoiseach go n-osclófaí slite bóthair sa teorainn idir Gaza agus Iosrael le go mbeadh ábhar fóirithinte in ann a ghabháil isteach sa gceantar faoi léigear.

There are the routes that the Taoiseach said "and some of them have 8 travel lanes, but to open them, which should be done immediately."

Tá na bealaigh ann a dúirt an Taoiseach "agus 8 lána taistil ag cuid acu, ach iad a oscailt, rud ba chóir a dhéanamh láithreach."

French President Macron has organized the International Conference on Relief Assistance for the Civilian Population in Gaza.

Uachtarán Macron na Fraince atá tar éis an Chomhdháil Idirnáisiúnta ar Chuidiú Fóirithinte don Phobal Sibhialtach i nGaza a eagrú.

The Taoiseach said that everyone must accept that the lives of Palestinians and the lives of Israelis are equal.

Dúirt an Taoiseach go gcaithfeadh cách glacadh leis gur comhchéim atá saol Palaistínigh agus saol Iosraelaigh.

The Taoiseach called the war a crisis so bad that it is hard to imagine and he said that Israel would not have peace or tranquility without the Palestinian People having a fair play.

Géarchéim atá chomh dona gur deacair é a shamhlú a thug an Taoiseach ar an gcogaíocht agus dúirt sé nach mbeadh síocháin ná suaimhneas ag Iosrael gan cothrom na féinne a bheith ag Muintir na Palaistíne.

The case of Ireland, he said, shows that the conversation is valid and that two parties can come to a solution even after the centuries of conflict.

Léiríonn cás na hÉireann a dúirt sé go bhfuil feidhm leis an gcomhrá agus gur féidir le dhá dhream a theacht ar réiteach fiú tar éis na gcianta achrainn.
