Timmins expresses regret at decision of Israeli Ambassador not to attend Foreign Affairs Committee 
Fine Gael Spokesman for Foreign Affairs, Billy Timmins T.D. has today (Tuesday) expressed his deep regret at the decision by Israeli Ambassador to Ireland, Dr. Zion Evrony not to follow up on his commitment to attend the Oireachtas Foreign Affairs Committee tomorrow (Thursday)

“I deeply regret the decision by Israeli Ambassador, Dr. Zion Evrony not to honour his commitment to attend the Oireachtas Foreign Affairs Committee tomorrow. The reason given for his inability to attend is that unforeseen circumstances have arisen. This is in no way satisfactory.

“The Ambassadors attendance at the Committee would have afforded an opportunity for him to shed some light on the events surrounding the deaths of members of the aid flotilla bound for Gaza.

“It would have also given members of the Committee an opportunity to seek guarantees regarding the safety of those aboard the ‘Rachel Corrie’. I once again call on the Israeli authorities to remove the illegal blockade being imposed on the people of Gaza.”
