Sinn Féin MLA Emma Sheerin addresses the Northern Ireland Assembly in Belfast, delivering a speech in support of Sinn Féin’s motion condemning Israeli genocide in Gaza and the forced starvation of the Palestinian people. Sheerin declared: ‘This is not a war. It is a one-sided attack by an apartheid state, and an escalation of a decades-long attempt to obliterate an entire population.’ The Assembly backed the motion, sending a strong message of solidarity with Palestine. | Sahat English
