Irish PM Calls on US to Stop Sending Weapons to Israel
News - World: Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar criticized on Saturday the US weapon supplies to Israel, urging Washington to stop sending arms to Tel Aviv.
Varadkar will meet US President Joe Biden at the White House on Sunday, at the end of a week of engagements which involved an earlier bilateral meeting between the two leaders, reported British PA Media.
Biden said he agreed with the PM’s calls for a ceasefire in Gaza “as soon as possible.”
However, speaking to reporters in Washington DC, Varadkar said there were areas in which the two administrations remain at odds.
He stressed he made it “very clear” to Briden that Israel’s continued military actions in Gaza were not self-defense.
The Irish leader added that the US was working “very hard” towards a ceasefire, but Biden has stopped short of calling for an immediate end to hostilities.
Varadkar met with Biden for a bilateral meeting in the Oval Office on Friday.
