Ireland's Ambassador to Türkiye, Clare Brosnan, criticized US President Donald Trump's plan to forcibly relocate Gazans.
“It is important to say that we do not believe that the Palestinians should be forced to leave their country,” she told Anadolu where she discussed issues, including Turkish-Irish relations, Türkiye’s EU membership process and the situation in Palestine.
She highlighted similarities between St. Patrick’s Day celebrations in Ireland and the Muslim month of Ramadan, noting both bring people together with a sense of gratitude.
Brosnan said experiencing Ramadan and attending iftar meals in Türkiye was very special to her.
She emphasized the importance of St. Patrick's Day for the Irish, pointing out that many aspects of Irish culture, such as music and literature, are celebrated on that day.
"It is important that we support a two-state solution, even though there are real challenges around that, and it is important in particular, that we support humanitarian and peaceful solutions for Palestine," she said.
Brosnan expressed support for a humanitarian and peaceful solution for Palestinians, Israelis and Gazans, and emphasized that Ireland would continue to share its views with the international community to support Palestine's future.
The ambassador stressed that Palestinians should be supported in their own homes without being displaced.
