'Say no to genocide, say no to von der Leyen' - Lynn Boylan calls out Gaza ‘hypocrisy’

Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan criticised Ursula von der Leyen's record on the Israel-Palestine conflict ahead of a vote in the European Parliament.

Ursula von der Leyen has secured a second term as European Commission President, following a vote in the European Parliament.

After MEPs voted to support her candidacy, Dr von der Leyen said she could not “begin to express how grateful I am”.

Although she had the backing of the Irish Government, Dr von der Leyen’s bid for a second term was opposed by many Irish MEPs.

Previously, during a visit to Israel, the European Commission President said Israel has a “duty to defend its people” and did not publicly ask Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to follow international law.
