The decision by Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognise Palestine as a state outraged Israel but also put pressure on other European allies to take the same course. Taoiseach (prime minister) Simon Harris explained his government's thinking in this historic step.

We believe, and Ireland has believed for many, many years, that the way you bring peace and stability to the Middle East is the recognition of a two-state solution. "No...

Europe is on the wrong side of history for failing to do enough to stop the bloodshed in Gaza, according to Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris. “There will be a moment in the future where your children and your grandchildren and great grandchildren will ask, what did you do? What did you do? And did you do enough? And that should keep every single one of us awake at night, because there are children in Gaza, there are children Rafah, who go to sleep at night not knowing if they'll wake”, he told Euronews in an exclusive interview. The Irish government on Wednesday jointly announced to recognise...
