Ireland Slams Israeli Genocide in Gaza, Urges UN to Act Under Chapter Seven

SAEDNEWS: As the Israeli regime continues its brutal onslaught on Gaza, Ireland’s president has called on the United Nations to bypass US-imposed paralysis at the Security Council and intervene immediately to halt the "destruction of an entire people."

Ireland Slams Israeli Genocide in Gaza, Urges UN to Act Under Chapter Seven

Irish President Michael D. Higgins condemned the Zionist regime’s relentless war on Gaza, calling for urgent international intervention to stop the mass killing and starvation of Palestinians.

In a video broadcast by RTE News, Higgins described the Israeli campaign as the “incredible, incredible destruction of an entire people.”

“Are we to watch children starving, women dehydrated, or trying to feed their children? So something must happen,” he said.

He urged UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres to invoke Chapter Seven of the UN Charter, which permits enforcement action—including the use of force—even without the approval of the Security Council.

“I am personally in favor of the secretary-general of the UN using Chapter Seven procedure, by which, whether or not the Security Council agrees, and even if there's a blockage, the right exists for the secretary-general to seek to put together an international defense of a corridor,” he added.

Higgins highlighted the humanitarian crisis caused by the regime's blockade: “There are 6,000 trucks with enough food for three months, and it has been blocked, and it is outrageous.”

Since the start of the genocidal war in October 2023, at least 175 Palestinians—93 of them children—have died of starvation as the Zionist entity continues to weaponize hunger against the civilian population.

UN agencies report that more than 6,000 children in Gaza are currently receiving treatment for severe malnutrition, the direct result of the regime’s total blockade.

Israel has rejected repeated international calls—including those from the UN and humanitarian organizations—to open aid corridors and allow lifesaving supplies to reach the besieged enclave.

The Palestinian people now depend entirely on aid agencies for survival, but even these efforts have been crippled. The Israeli regime has dismantled the existing UN aid distribution network and replaced it with a flawed, US-backed mechanism. Humanitarian workers and Gaza officials say this shift has deepened the catastrophe.

Since launching its genocidal war, the US-Israeli alliance has killed around 61,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—in what observers describe as one of the darkest chapters of modern history.
