- Ireland will recognise a Palestinian State by the end of the month, the Tánaiste has confirmed.
Numerous countries in the Global South recognise a Palestinian State but relatively few western countries to do so.
Israel's Ambassador to Ireland has previously argued that recognition of Palestine would mean 'rewarding terrorism' and other countries believe it should only come when a two State solution is acheived.
Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, Micheál Martin said he hoped recognition would help advance the prospects of peace and reconciliation in the region.
“We will be recognising the State of Palestine before the end of the month,” he said.
“The specific date is still fluid because we’re still in discussion with some countries in respect of a joint recognition of a Palestinian State.
“That will become clear in the next few days as to the specific date but it certainly will be before the end of this month and I will have further consultations today with some Foreign Ministers in respect of the final, specific details of this.
“We’re doing it in the context of the Arab peace initiative, [efforts to support] a two State solution and to extend a signal towards the Palestinian population at large that we support their right to self-determination and the idea of a two State solution as the only way that Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in peace.”

Fix our own country first let the arabs sort out
Their own problems
How can anyone trust HAMAS or even the Palestinians who wholeheartedly supported them
I won't have that!! They were only Arabs until 1964, then Arafat decided it would be better publicity to call them pal....ian
They were voted in about 20 years ago by a slight margin. Over 50% of the population is under 18. Do the math or, better again, do a little research before you comment.
The politics of Palestine has nothing to do with the moral case for their national self-determination. We voted in a shower of gombeens who are trying to ethnically replace us in our own country, but that doesn't delegitimise our struggle any more than Hamas delegitimise the Palestinian struggle.
Nationalism for all Nations
I thought he didn't recognise Sovereignty.
He recognises all except Irish.
They don't recognise anything.
He's a complete and utter hypocrite
Vote independent and get rid of the main parties
Give a no.1 vote and to THE IRISH FREEDOM PARTY.
Hamas does NOT want a two state solution. Ireland rewarding terrorism is shocking considering their history.
Palestine will be recognised as a sovereign state ❤
And you dare to call me a a terrorist, while you look down your gun .
Fighting oppression is our history 🇮🇪 . Free Palestine 🇵🇸
@@goarchie16 Not when the King turns up, baby, you'll be running for the cave.........
He represents himself and his own interest not the Irish people
He's opinion changes with the wind. You've to laugh when he discounts our own "backwards idea of sovereignty" in the Dail but champion the sovereignty of other nations
The overwhelming majority of the Irish people want to recognise the state of Palestine.
@@johnwall1989 I don't, and there are many more like me. I wish Micheál and others like him would stop making assumptions about the Irish people. The recent referendum result showed how out of touch with the people they all are.
@thewatcher633 ya, you're in the minority bud 😅
@@thewatcher633 why don't you?
No No go and look after your own Country , stop talking on behalf of the Irish People .
I honestly hate it when they say "ireland support _" when they're not the voice of the entirety of ireland
@@kaproskarleto5136overwhelming majority support the Palestinian cause.
@@johnwall1989 yeah but not everyone
Exactly, Ireland's in a bad situation and needs attention. Martin is more concerned with other struggles, what about the struggles of the working Irish?
He is the Minister for Foreign Affairs he is doing his job
Why are u worried about people at war in other countries country s .when u can’t look after ur own .
Because that's where the money trickles down to him. When he's finished pretending to be a leader he'll be getting speaking gigs for thousands a pop even though a dozen people will barely show up, and maybe a book deal or two worth a ridiculous amount of money, despite nobody buying the actual book, and that's not even the most blatant and dodgiest form of corruption he'll be profiting from.
Our own are not violently dying in large numbers daily. Cop yourself on.
@@davidkavanagh189But they are dying from homelessness and homeless related issues and poor healthcare.
@@mynameonly8991 257 people a day? You also need to cop yourself on.
@@davidkavanagh189 It's not a numbers game. Sad is sad.
Michael Martin your gov't have created a country here in lreland where ordinary lrish people cannot afford to live anymore. One crises after another and so many services are in short supply...and you go on and on about Palestine.
Vote independent in elections
Vote no.1 in all elections so votes cannot be transferred.
Vote IRISH FREEDOM PARTY
Hes doing a grand job.
His masters are proud.
More populism from an Irish politician. This won’t save them at election time!
Stay out there
Honest question from an immigrant living in Ireland for 9 years. What's the story with this Irish obsession Palestine?
A very vocal section of our race have a lot of the same victim mentality as the Palestinians. Victims love the company of other victims. I'm not one of them but what has really saddened me is the fact that this Government never used any influence it might think it has with Palestinians to secure the release of the hostages. Surly that is more important than recognising a state.
Ireland has a history of being under a brutal military occupation, food used as starvation treated as seconds class citizens, etc. Also, when the irish were fighting for freedom in the North, the Palestinian authority helped with weapons and training. Hope this helps.
@@thewatcher633 I love your whinging about very vocal sections of "our race" (Irish is a nationality not a separate race). When we were complaining about the water charges I bet you sat at home nodding your head but unwilling to help.
Neo left wing victim mentality.
Mixed with a dash of white guilt (only we can save them 😂)
@aman-yc3fr Tell that to the thousands of families who lost loved ones during the Famine.
Why don't you go over and live with them.
Where is the pressure on Hamas ? Who’s speaking to those lads?
As an occupied people, you have the right to self defense its enshrined in international law.
Martin the quisling.
This man would do better to sort out the problems him and his governments created in ireland
Flags and Emblems you say Meehole?
Yet you have no bones about flying the HGTV brigade flags and Emblems.
He certainly knows how to waffle
He better not bring them here or we really are in trouble
WOW! You can expect THEM at your doorstep by the beginning of June.
What is it about our politicians and their fixation on palestine. Sort out our own country first before you go around trying to solve the problems of the world
You mightn't understand since you talk like a poorly-educated simpleton but politicians need to do both. It's not either/or....
Because the majority of young people support Palestine, this is another way of them trying to gain the young vote
Agenda
Globalism
How dumb are you we’re not sorting out Palestine, investing, supplying aid to them. We are just literally saying “we recognise them as a state” last time I checked it didn’t cost tax payers money to say English
Hello Ireland here , we have no business in midle east!! FIX IRELAND CRISIS FIRST!! Put the Irish first!! We suppose to be neutral.
You are not Irish, you are an Israeli.
They'll have to find it first
A two state solution is never going to happen
will israel get there hostages back when we recognise palestine as a state ?
Rewarding terrorism! What about the Israeli hostages? What idiocy.
I agree. I cannot believe our Government is doing this. It is madness.
There are over 20 thousand hostages in Israel, and many kids under the age of 12 are held without charge. Israel is an apartheid regime. You would have been one of the clowns calling Nelson Mandela a terroist.
What about Palestinian hostages 100 times more than Israel
@@tj-nm4xh I don’t think you grasp the difference between a prisoner and a hostage.
@@TheIrishMegaphone I don't think you know innocent Palestinian children are called prisoners simply for defending their lands. By the way why should IDF arrest them and be put in jail? They can simply hand over to Palestinian authority.
Not in my name.....
“ He who watches Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” ----

What a hypocrite, you will give ours away...no invite please of ayslum, every other country in Europe is trying to remove, so please no offers .
He should have been a priest,by this time he might have been a candidate for Pope!
😂
Lie he will be wined and dining with he's pa's out out
Palestinian refugees?
Imagine waiting 70 yrs to recognise a country .
The country you’re referring to doesn’t exist and never has.
I come before a muslim in my own country
TYypical of Martin recognising a Terrororist state
It’s not complicated at all, Israel took Palestinian land by force in 1948 using terrorist tactics, how is that complicated??
The Jews have been there since around 2000bc. They had their own state there for hundreds of years until they were forced out and it was the brits who found what would become modern day Isreal, with its commitment to it going back to 1917 and the Balfour declaration. There was no Palestinian country, ever. The Muslim population wanted to remain part of the Ottomon empire, and the turks never gave a damn about them either. Nor did the Syrians, the Jordanians, Iranians or anyone else in the region.
With the publication of the "white paper" in 1939 by the brits, and their intention to hand the land into the hands of the Arab majority after the league of nations mandates cessation, the isrealis declared independence and their own state rather than go under control of the Palestinians/Arabs. Let's not even pretend that the Arabs didn't do everything they could to rid the Jews out of isreal, and how international blockages off shore tried ro squeeze whatever hope the outnumbered Jews had when getting bombarded and attacked from every side.
Isreal is there to stay, cope.
@roymunson1 and where have the Arabs been all this time if the Jews are there that long did Arabs not live there
@@punchy1325 According to ottoman Turkish census, there were 300 thousand people living in the Israel/palestine/jordan region. Most were migrant bedouins. The Ottoman installed Governors of the region got most of their taxes from european visitors to the "holy Land". Famous writers to the "holy land" in the 19th century described the region where most of Israel is today as "empy, desolate and devoid of people except for some scattered villages.
It is estimated that in the 1930's if the british had not made an agreement with their installed Arab Governor of Jerusalem Al Husseini, over one million Jews could have been saved from the Gas chambers in occupied Europe. Britains refual to allow persecuted Jews to migrate to the British mandate of Palestine, was in stark contrast to the open border policy Europe and Britain have today for allowing millions of sub saharan migrants onto their shores. Double standards perhaps?
@Johnoneill192 Your PLO version of history is not as simple as that. You need to go back at least to the 1880's to have a more balanced picture. Also include the 1 million Jews ethnically cleansed from the surrounding Arab nations in 1948 and Iran in 1979. Look up the millions of Hectares legally purchased from by the Jewish settlers from the Arabs during Ottoman and British mandate, before the creation of Israel. If you are honest with yourself, you will find that the facts are very different than the 1948 half myth that you mentioned!!
T'IS
Not, often one FEELS like Complementing Irish Politicians but on this Occasion with THEM showing Support for the People of PALESTINE/ GAZA they deserve Credit.
I'll say 0:18 NO More.
Free Palestine!!!!!
