Irish foreign affairs minister Simon Harris has expressed concern over US President Donald Trump's comments suggesting a US-owned Gaza that would be the 'Riviera of the Middle East'. Irish premier Micheal Martin cautiously stated that it remains to be seen where this leads. Both Martin and Harris emphasized the importance of delivering a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians. They also called for clarification on Trump's comments and stressed the need to maintain the ceasefire in Gaza.
