Recognising Palestine does not mean recognising Hamas - Micheál Martin

Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said the decision to recognise Palestine as a State is not a decision to legitimise Hamas.
The Government announced earlier this morning it would take steps to recognise the Palestinian on May 28th.
The decision was made, according to the Tánaiste in coordination with Norway and Spain, who will also announce their recognition today.
Mr Martin said this decision, as Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz suggested, shows that “terrorism pays”.
“Recognition does not involve recognition of a government, it's recognition of a State,” he told The Pat Kenny Show.
“That applies to every State that we recognise around the world.
“Our policies and diplomatic engagement can very much evolve in criticising Governments
“We've been very consistently calling for reform of Palestine.”
Hamas is a terrorist organisation which has been strengthened by “Israeli strategy and policy”, according to the Tánaiste.
“We see this [recognition] very much as endeavouring to implore moderation,” he said.
Mr Martin explained the recognition of Palestine involves upgrading Palestinian representatives to that of an official embassy rather than a “mission”.
He noted that Hamas, who governs the Gaza Strip, does not form part of the Palestinian authority in Ireland.
Instead, Mr Martin emphasised the role of the leaders of the ‘State of Palestine’ declared in 1988, including newly-appointed Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa.
“I spoke to [Mr Mustafa] yesterday,” he said. “They have an ambitious programme for reform.
“There is a clear mood now that in the aftermath of this war, that there will be a technocratic Government installed in Gaza, that would administer and govern Gaza.
“The agenda will be on the reconstruction of Gaza [and] a new Government needs to come in.”

Respect for Newstalk covering this issue with the interview. As a foreign observer, I wonder how the Ireland's government would respond if the rest of the world suddenly recognized parts of Ireland as independent countries. Mr. Martin can take radical action in foreign policy but he can't deliver significant change to Healthcare or housing.

@liamanderson1960 27 күн бұрын

You know full well why Ireland has recognised Palestine. Ireland was a colonised country. The Irish people, its culture and traditions were almost wiped out by the British, the same British administration thar created the state of Israel. Israels retaliation which is completely understandable but Israel has gone too far. Internationally I don't know how this will affect Ireland in the long run.

@HughHuston 28 күн бұрын

Pat Kenny has been around for a long time so he understands better than most the complexity of the Palestinian problem. Jordan, Egypt, Syria and to a lesser extent Saudi all have had their problems with the Palestinians hence their reluctance to be overly involved in coming to their aid. To recognise a state that currently doesn't exist is ill judged and premature and is politically reckless..The Two State solution won't be achieved by political posturing in the hope that one of the three may get a UN or EU position at a future date or that all three may get a bounce in the upcoming Elections..Meanwhile while politicians make pronouncements Palestine is burning...What a shameful world we live in.

Look back on this 1 year from today - and see what the consequences are. Let's say for example - the Palestinian population gets forced out of Gaza due to one reason or another......and the Israelis want to export them...... and they decide, because of our stance on this issue, to start flying them into Dublin..... Just putting it out there...... Let's see who ultimately benefits from this.
