President Michael D. Higgins has expressed his sympathy for the children in Israel and Gaza on Christmas, reports Breaking News.
He also thanked the migrants in Ireland for enriching the culture.
He emphasized the need for nations to increase their efforts towards achieving a ceasefire and finding resolutions to conflicts, reports Breaking News.
“This Christmas, we are conscious that, across the world, there are many people facing the most horrific of circumstances of war and displacement,” he said, reports Breaking News.
“We think in particular of all the children in Gaza and Israel, places known to many as a Holy Land, and that has been darkened by the taking of so many lives, and too many young lives in particular, in recent months. All of our hearts are made heavy by these terrible losses. So many families across our own island too will still be feeling the loss of family members to conflict, as this year we marked the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement,” he added, reports Breaking News.
