She stated, “I think it has to be acknowledged that President Biden has been a really strong champion of Ireland in terms of stepping aside.”
“He is, of course, a proud Irishman. I think particularly in the course of Brexit, he was instrumental in ensuring that there was no hardening of the border on the island of Ireland. We owe him a thank you for that. The appointment of Joe Kennedy as an economic envoy to the North has been extremely constructive and very, very helpful, reports Breaking News.
In order to stop the rising number of fatalities and injuries in Gaza and to assist in mediating peace between Israelis and Palestinians, she said that the incoming US president should alter the country’s ties with Israel.
“I have to say, I hope also that whoever is the next president of the United States confronts Israel, confronts the slaughter that is ongoing there, stops arming Israel’s campaign of slaughter against Palestinians, and actually repositions the United States to a place where it was a long time ago,” reports Breaking News.
