US President Donald Trump has described the Iranian regime as "sick", "demented", "maniacs", and promised a quick end to the war. Following his meeting with Taoiseach Micheál Martin yesterday, Mr. Trump says he's "way ahead of schedule" on Iran and the whole world should be "very thankful" for his intervention. He also said he is disappointed in NATO, and gave a timeline of a "couple of weeks" for the end of the war. President Trump said he was forced to act. The EU's foreign policy chief says the door is not closed to European participation in protecting the Strait of Hormuz. But Kaja Kallas says it would probably be part of a diplomatic solution. She also says EU is consulting with governments in the Middle East about how to bring the conflict to a conclusion. Kaja Kallas warned about the need to improve our own defences. Iran has confirmed its top security official has been killed in an airstrike. Tehran had yesterday denied Ali Larijani had been killed - displaying a handwritten note supposedly written by him as evidence he was alive. Iran launched missiles at Israel overnight, killing two people. Meanwhile, senior US counter-terrorism boss Joe Kent has resigned, saying he doesn't support the conflict. To discuss all of this, along with growing concern about the impact on global energy supplies and fuel prices, given the situation with the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20% of the world's oil passes, Alan Morrissey was joined by Donnacha Ó Beacháin, Associate Professor of Politics at Dublin City University, and Micheál Collins, Assistant Professor of Social Policy at University College Dublin.

Russia has already agreed a pause in attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, but it's hoped they'll also stop targeting civilian areas. US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce was optimistic about the last round of talks last week...

There has been widespread condemnation of Donald Trump's proposal to transfer Palestinians out of Gaza and have the US take over the war-ruined enclave. The Amerocam president made the surprising proposal during the visit of Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House, saying he envisioned transforming Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East". Trump's remarks drew rebukes from nations such as Russia, China, and Germany, which said it would foster "new suffering and new hatred." Middle East heavyweight Saudi Arabia rejected the proposal outright. Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyhu has given Donald Trump's plan his support on Fox News. However, the Palestinian ambassador to Ireland, Dr Jilan Abdalmajid says the people of Gaza are going nowhere.

The Israeli ambassador to Ireland is accusing the government of "vilifying" Israel. Dana Erlich's claim comes after Israel made the decision to close its embassy in Dublin. It's citing an "antisemitic rhetoric" from the Irish government - something the Taoiseach and Tánaiste have strongly denied. However, the Taoiseach is describing Israel's decision to close its embassy in Dublin as 'diplomacy of distraction'. The decision by the Netanyahu government has been taken due to what it describes as 'extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government'. To look at this in further detail, Alan Morrissey spoke to Donnacha Ó Beacháin, who is Professor of Politics at DCU.

The Clare-based Chair of Sadaka, the Ireland-Palestine Alliance, believes it'll soon be "political or logically" impossible for Ireland to have any dealings with Israel. The comments come as the Taoiseach has told the President of the Palestinian Authority that Ireland's decision to recognise the Palestinian state was to keep hopes for a two-state solution alive. Following the announcement that Ireland, Spain and Norway will formally recognise the state of Palestine next Tuesday May 28th, Israel has acted swifty by recalling its envoys to Ireland and Spain for "urgent consultation". The Israeli foreign ministry warned in advance of the decision that recognising the state would "only fuel extremism and instability", while the country's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has characterised the move as a "prize for terrorism". Taoiseach Simon Harris is standing firm however and says Israel shouldn't be surprised by the decision. It comes in a week when the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has issued warrants for the Israeli prime minister and defence minister, as well as senior members of Hamas, for suspected "crimes against humanity". Responding to claims that recognising Palestine means recognising Hamas, Newmarket-on-Fergus native and Professor of Politics at DCU, Donnacha Ó Beacháin, insists its about respecting the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. The International Court of Justice decided earlier this year that Palestinians in Gaza have plausible rights under the Genocide convention. It concluded Gazans are at real risk of irreparable damage and that Israel should take steps to prevent genocide from occurring. The court is due to issue an advisory opinion on the Israeli occupation of Palestine in July of this year. Kilmaley native and Chairperson of Sadaka, the Ireland-Palestine Alliance, Eamon Meehan, says it's likely Israel's occupation will be found to be illegal, after which point the Irish Government should sever all engagement with Israeli settlements.

The government is being urged to "get its house in order" on immigration. It comes amid a dispute with the UK over returning asylum seekers to Britain, with Ireland working to close the loophole to send refugees back to the UK if they cross the border. The Cabinet has approved proposals from Minister for Justice Helen McEntee to quickly draft legislation so that the UK can again be designated as a safe country to return people seeking asylum.
