Dublin - Saba:
Ireland on Thursday rejected a proposal by the so-called Zionist enemy's War Minister Yisrael Katz that Dublin should receive Palestinians if they are displaced from Gaza Strip.
"The aim should be to significantly increase aid to Gaza, restore basic services and establish a clear framework under which displaced people can return," the Irish Foreign Affairs Department said in a statement.
"Any comments to the contrary are unhelpful and annoying."
Katz had stated that Spain, Ireland and Norway, which last year recognized the Palestinian state, are "legally obligated to allow any resident of Gaza to enter their territories."
Spain has also rejected Katz's proposal, with Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Alvarez saying, "Gaza is the land of the Palestinian residents of Gaza, and should be part of the future Palestinian state."
