A motion tabled by left-leaning opposition party Sinn Fein was passed in Irish Parliament on Wednesday night (local time). All parties, including the two centre-right ruling parties Fianna Gael and Fianna Fail, supported the motion.
An amendment to expel Israel s ambassador to Ireland and put in place immediate cultural, political and economic sanctions against Israel failed to get enough votes.
Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou MacDonald said the motion must mark new assertive, consistent confrontation of Israeli crimes against Palestine and added there should now be consequences for Israel, not simply condemnation.
