Sinn Féin say they will not attend US St Patrick’s Day celebrations happymamay

When energy participation works, it is useful for the first two ministers to take the first minister to Washington, DC.

In a video posted on the social media platform X, McDonald said that it followed the President’s comments on Gaza with “increasing anxiety” and listened in “horror” to calls for “the collective expulsion of the Palestinian people from their homes and the permanent confiscation of the Palestinian territories.”

She added: “Such an approach is a basic violation of international law, which destabilizes deeply in the Middle East and a dangerous way out of the United Nations’ peace and security position for both Palestinians and Israelis and the right of the Palestinians to self -determination.”

At a press conference after this announcement, McDonald added that the United States is a “valuable friend” for Ireland, with strong peace relations and a role in the Irish economy.

However, the president of Sinn Féin said that the current American administration is “disastrously disastrous” for Palestine.

She said: “I made a decision not to attend the events in the White House this year as an initial position against the call of the collective expulsion of the Palestinian people from Gaza.”

“The only way to peace and security is a permanent ceasefire, followed by a negotiating settlement that guarantees peace and security for both Palestinians and Israelis through a just and sustainable solution and should be the dissolution of the United States.”

McDonald Tawish (Irish Prime Minister) Michel Martin also called for the use of celebrations as an opportunity to reflect the views of the Irish people regarding Palestine to support international law.

O’Neill said that she spoke to Prime Minister Emma Little Bengeille on Friday morning to inform her of the decision.

She added, “It is completely invited in terms of what she might decide to do.”

“For me, this is about taking an initial position, this is a moment of time while we will all think about what we did and this is an opportunity to take a position for the Palestinian people.”

Last week, Claire Hanna said the leader of SDLP Will you refuse an invitation to the White House regarding the president’s position in Gaza.

The BBC Radio Ulster told the Talkback program that it could not “good conscience” because people made their hopes and concerns over the Palestinian people clear.

This is the second year in a row in which the party said it will reject a call to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.

David Brooks, a member of the Democratic Union Association (DUP), described SDLP’s decision as a “noisy trick.”
