00:00:00are very powerful, very good, but we wouldn't have been using them, we
00:00:04could have used something else, but these are uh,
00:00:08a little bit older type, equally as
00:00:10effective, and uh, we it, it's things that we have so
00:00:14much,
00:00:14of plus we have supplies of uh, munitions all over the world that
00:00:18if we ever needed them, we'd take that, we're supplied all over
00:00:22the world,
00:00:23of
00:00:24of of but uh, we have,
00:00:25of we're in very, very good shape. Russia seems to have increased their attacks
00:00:29on C
00:00:33of look, we're not involved from the standpoint, it's
00:00:37uh, we're separated by an
00:00:38of ocean, but hate to see 25,00 young people a month
00:00:42get killed, and that's what's happening between Russia and
00:00:45a Ukraine, they're losing average 25,000, mostly
00:00:49soldiers a month,
00:00:52of and we're working on it, and I think we're
00:00:54of making progress,
00:00:56of but it's a violent, very violent war, there's a lot of hatred in that
00:00:59of war, lot. hatred between the two
00:01:01of leaders, I settle eight wars, I thought this would be maybe one
00:01:04of the easier ones and it turned out to be the most difficult, but
00:01:08progress is being made. Thank you very much
00:01:12of of of everybody,
00:01:17oh you've just
00:01:17of been listening there to uh Donald Trump who's been addressing
00:01:20reporters at the Oval Office and uh
00:01:24he's made few points, he said on
00:01:26of Iran, he said that I think the war will end pretty soon.
00:01:30and Trump also signed
00:01:32of executive orders restricting what he called birth tourism, expanding
00:01:36the definition of people that are ineligible for birthr
00:01:40citizenship following the Supreme Court Quach
00:01:43in his previous attempts to revert it, and on
00:01:46munitions Trump said that we have massive amounts
00:01:51a of ammunition, and he has obviously have been denying
00:01:54a reports that the US is suffering ammunitions
00:01:58shortage and we'll... Continue to keep an eye on what Donald
00:02:02Trump is speaking about uh right now. All right,
00:02:06bigger than five is coming up next here on TRT World.
00:02:09of We'll of be back at the top
00:02:10of the hour, see you then, bye
00:02:11bye.

00:02:35of of
00:02:39of
00:02:51As some of European governments stop doing business with illegal Israeli
00:02:54settlements, a British member of parliament tells us why the UK must do
00:02:58the same. "we know that when we want to, we
00:03:02can impose these uh sanctions. we did it for crimea
00:03:06occupied by Russia and
00:03:08of other parts of Ukraine. we within weeks managed
00:03:11implement a system that we did not purchase any goods from
00:03:15that region. and the push to uphold international
00:03:19law moves beyond politics. should sport take a stand where
00:03:23governments at field? football is the most popular game on the
00:03:27planet when you begin to remove team from football. only does it, does
00:03:31of it,
00:03:31a does it demonstrate that this is unacceptable behavior internationally, it demonstrates to
00:03:35in
00:03:36of in actually Israelelis within Israel, you're being removed for
00:03:39a reason. hello, i'm ridri, welcome to the
00:03:42program. the European Union is debating banning trade with
00:03:46of illegal Israeli settlements in east Jerusalem and the west
00:03:49bank.
00:03:50in a 2024 landmark advisory opinion, the international court of
00:03:54justice found Israel's entire presence in the occupied Palestinian
00:03:57territory to be unlawful. calling on Israel to stop
00:04:01settlement activities and evacuate all settlers. the
00:04:05court also called on all states to abstain from economic or trade
00:04:08dealings that would maintain the current situation. despite
00:04:12deadlock in the European Union, several member states have enacted their own
00:04:16settlement trade bans. the Netherlands announced a ban on settlement
00:04:20goods starting in September, joining
00:04:24of of Ireland, Belgium and Spain. In Britain, members of parliament debated the issue in
00:04:27of July, the UK government responded by saying it was examining how a
00:04:30ban could be
00:04:32a implemented. Sharkat Adam, an independent member
00:04:34of the British Parliament, visited the occupied West Bank Clause, he has
00:04:38long back the trade ban and joins us
00:04:42of now. Shokat Adam, the Netherlands and
00:04:45of Belgium have moved to ban trade with goods from illegal Israeli
00:04:48settlements. Should the UK do the same? The
00:04:52short answer to that question is, yes, I think it's come to point where we must
00:04:56absolutely
00:04:56of abandon, not just importing, but also exporting and not just... goods, but
00:05:00also
00:05:01of services, but is that likely to happen, the UK
00:05:04does accept that Israeli settlements are illegal under international law, if
00:05:08that's the case, should British businesses be allowed to continue?
00:05:12reading with these settlements? you're absolutely right, it's been 50
00:05:16years since governments and successive governments have categorically
00:05:20stated that the settlements in the west bank are illegal,
00:05:23hence we know it's illegal and it's our duty uh to
00:05:27ensure that we follow that through, we've had words for so long uh
00:05:31and now with new prime minister hopefully it's pointing in the right
00:05:35direction, but it's the proof is in the pudding right, and it must be
00:05:38services as well as goods, exports as well as imports.
00:05:42but how likely is anything to really change? is the UK at
00:05:46risk of being in breach of international law if it continues this trade?
00:05:50we saw the outcome the previous prime minister's stance
00:05:54on on the whole situation, they've starting to make some apologies that
00:05:58maybe we didn't respond correctly and and appropriately and and
00:06:01acutely as fast as we should have, now is the time for action and we will continue
00:06:05to hold the government to account on that. are you confident that the new
00:06:09government will take the appropriate action and if it doesn't, what? will it send
00:06:13to the Israeli government and to
00:06:15Palestinians? I'm
00:06:18never confident, I'm hopeful, and and I think it will
00:06:22change, one day it will change because it has been
00:06:25now a sequence of
00:06:28Mr.miners, it's been sequence of neglect of laws that we
00:06:32ourselves have created, so for example we
00:06:35we we we know that when we want to we can impose these
00:06:39sanctions, we did it for crimea occupied uh
00:06:43uh by Russia and other parts of Ukraine, we within
00:06:47weeks will manage implement a system that we did not
00:06:51purchase any goods from that region, so we have the know-how, we have
00:06:55the mechanism, we have, as you correctly said, the law also telling
00:06:58us that we must implement this, otherwise it will
00:07:02be the a traversty of international justice, and we will never
00:07:06be able to look back again and call out injustices like we have done
00:07:09historically, but
00:07:10what is clearly missing is the political will... isn't it? you were one of just
00:07:14few MPs calling for greater scrutiny of pro
00:07:18Israel lobbying groups and influence on british
00:07:21politics? how much has that influence shaped UK
00:07:25policy on Israel? all we asking for is consistency here, it doesn't have to be
00:07:29just Israel, because let's be perfectly honest, lot of people are trying to label this as
00:07:32anti-semitic when we speak about one country, but all we asking for is
00:07:36consistency here, and and and any foreign
00:07:40government, any foreign a... agents foreign interference into
00:07:44any other country's politics and and in this case British politics
00:07:48must be investigated, so hence we were asking at that
00:07:52particular debate that why the inequity, why was it then
00:07:56as a country, I have been extremely proud that once
00:07:59Ukraine was invaded, why did we open up borders and give homes and
00:08:03safe pathways and give university spaces and why did
00:08:06we ope rais a flight of every
00:08:10every building that we had and why did we impose those
00:08:14economic and cultural and political sanctions against Russia? but the
00:08:18question more specifically is about the level to which
00:08:21pro Israel groups influence British politics, to what extent
00:08:25do they shape the decisions that come out of 10 Downing Street and the British
00:08:29government on Israel? was the inquiry that we're
00:08:33asking for? we're not saying that is certainly the case,
00:08:35but with that what we're saying is why is it that when when when we
00:08:39can the prime minister can say that time guys?
00:08:43with full conviction in his voice that war
00:08:47crimes are being committed, why can he say that
00:08:50you know that we can impose sanctions
00:08:53immediately, but
00:08:54we do not see the equivalence during this conflict, so what is it
00:08:58that is happening, that means that we are not responding in the
00:09:02same way, but the question is really about how much you
00:09:06believe pro Israel lobbying influences
00:09:10British policy on Israel? "the answer is that's
00:09:14the that's what we need to investigate and we need to find out what what
00:09:18influence they do have, when we had that debate in the chamber, it was
00:09:21shut down from the beginning as almost being an anti-semitic question to ask.
00:09:25as I said before, it's
00:09:27what it is what we are asking for to understand why there hasn't
00:09:31been the equivalence in response and is it because
00:09:35the influence from uh from from from the state from Israel
00:09:38influence, how much transparency is there in the..." british
00:09:42parliament on policy toward Israel, because recently revealed
00:09:46assessment shows that the British government seriously
00:09:49considered suspending trade with Israel last
00:09:52summer, why wasn't that assessment shared with MPs and the wider
00:09:56public? something that we have raised and we have
00:10:00signed open letters to that account, including in
00:10:04my question is uh factories that
00:10:08are making parts that are being used in the
00:10:11con in
00:10:13the the murder of innocent Palestinians, members
00:10:17from those firms were meeting ministers and I'm speaking specifically
00:10:21here by Albit and we have question.
00:10:25to answer, the government has questions to answer, why is it that you are
00:10:28meeting uh members from this organization and what is it, and
00:10:32and similar goes to charities as well, why there is
00:10:36evidence to suggest that there are British tax
00:10:40payers using gift aid gif donating to certain
00:10:43charities which are operating in the illegal west bank, we
00:10:47need transparency and all these matters, and some these charities
00:10:51you have accused of facilitating the movement of?
00:10:55citizens to illegal Israeli settlements, charities that are
00:10:58getting tax break from the government, is that something that
00:11:02continues? we had a land sale in our
00:11:05capital in London, a land sale for illegal land
00:11:09in
00:11:09the in the west bank, and now we have the government that gives us
00:11:13rhetoric that you know it is unacceptable and they
00:11:16believe as I said for the last 50 years that
00:11:19it is illegal, yet there are land, there is land
00:11:22being sold on. soil in
00:11:26illegal for the illegal land in west bank, and that is something
00:11:30that we have to hold our government to account, why are we allowing this to
00:11:34happen? on the issue the government considering the
00:11:37suspension of trade with Israel, should parliament have been told that the
00:11:41government was considering such a significant policy change, and what does the
00:11:45lack of transparency actually tell us about decision making on
00:11:48Israel? it has all
00:11:51been
00:11:52uh poke and daggers from the beginning, because we get told one thing in... parliament and then something else happens
00:11:56and that has been a consistent theme in my since my two years being
00:12:00elected uh we had for the first time debate which my
00:12:03colleague abdisam mohammed an MP from Sheffield
00:12:07brought to the chamber and it was unequivocal overwhelmingly across the
00:12:11chamber people wanted sanctions and the government has now a
00:12:15duty and the new prime minister has a duty to ensure that is
00:12:19that is now implemented. the new prime minister has actually apologized for the
00:12:23labour party's initial response to gas. "and he's promised a tougher
00:12:26response and tougher approach to Israel, but is it
00:12:30in your opinion a genuine policy shift or just a change in tone
00:12:34and rhetoric? I'm going to give him a few a little bit more time to before
00:12:38I judge him, but this is a
00:12:41continuity of previous prime ministers and previous
00:12:45governments, the the tone is different and we welcome that,
00:12:49but people will only be judged by their action, so let me give you an
00:12:52example, we had a military..." in fmbrah in in the
00:12:56United Kingdom where firms were exhibiting
00:13:00their military goods, which included firms from
00:13:03Israel, there was Raphael, there was a2i, and there was
00:13:07elbit, okay, and now these firms when they had the same
00:13:11exhibition in France were behind a black veil,
00:13:15yet these were openly presenting their wears in the
00:13:18UK, now Andy Burnham said he was, he welcomed
00:13:22this fair and wanted to do business, with these light-minded
00:13:26people. now maybe it was, he was very early in his term, and he wasn't
00:13:30quite sure, so what was being exhibited there, so I will give him that benefit the
00:13:33doubt, but we must see actions. we need
00:13:36immediate economic uh sanctions, we need immediate
00:13:40service sanctions against Israel, and we must see that
00:13:44any charities must be transparent to the reports that they have
00:13:48been accused of straight away, and any red line that must be
00:13:51crossed must be clearly defined by the prime minister. how likely is that? happened though when you
00:13:55look at the cabinet members that Andy Burnham has chosen,
00:13:59many senior members the cabinet are labor friends of Israel, does
00:14:03that limit how far the government is willing to go, and that
00:14:07is something that we will continually push the government on, and
00:14:11we saw that the Kier Starmer's response has led him to leave the parliament,
00:14:15and I'm
00:14:15not saying it was sold because of this issue, but it was very, very strong reasons.
00:14:19I overturned a huge majority standing on the right side, what I
00:14:23believe was on the right side of? history, other cabinet
00:14:26ministers came very close to losing their seats fundamentally
00:14:30for this reason. you've accused the former British government of being
00:14:33complicit in Israel's alleged war crimes in
00:14:37Gaza. Are you saying Britain is complicit morally,
00:14:41politically or legally? I think all
00:14:44three. we said never again after World War II, yet we are seeing on our live
00:14:48screens a genocide according to United Nations Convention happening.
00:14:52We have a duty to ensure a genocide. does not occur, war crimes does
00:14:56not occur, why are we still selling
00:14:59parts uh of to of fighter jets to Israel
00:15:03that is responsible for the murder of innocent men, women and children, we have
00:15:07a duty legally as part of united nation as part the statute,
00:15:11rome statute that we must ensure a genocide and war crime does not
00:15:15happen, even if we have no evidence at that time whether it's happening or not, we must do
00:15:19everything in our capability to prevent it from happening, hence the
00:15:23fact that we haven't taken those measures, "we also have been using
00:15:26uh, let's say second example is we have had surveillance planes there, we've had
00:15:30British aid workers being killed, yet with the surveillance
00:15:34planes have not released the information that they hold. why? why
00:15:38do we still have diplomatic times with people? why have we not
00:15:42ensured that we would arrest
00:15:46Benjamin Netanyahu as per the recommendations? we we
00:15:50said the same for for Putin, so these are the things that will make
00:15:54will ensure that we are on the wrong side of history, that we are
00:15:57morally, we are politically and we are legally responsible for
00:16:01what is happening and complicit in the war crimes. you visited the occupied west
00:16:05bank and you witness the settler violence. Palestinians
00:16:08often under the watchful eye the
00:16:11IDF. What struck you the most? What
00:16:14struck me the most what that every aspect of Palestini
00:16:18was being curtailed, was being abused, was being
00:16:21eroded. Whole towns being closed with
00:16:25thousands of people with absolutely no warning, culturally
00:16:29uh, they're being eroded. Every aspect of Palestinian life I
00:16:33saw in the week that was there, including religious, I was being interrupted
00:16:37as well. so there wasn't an avenue the palestinian life in the west bank that
00:16:40was not being controlled and interrupted by the Israelies. how do you
00:16:44think history few years from now will judge Britain's role and
00:16:48its response to these atrocities in the west bank in
00:16:52Gaza, especially given Britain's historical role in
00:16:55Palestine? we have more duty than most, but
00:16:58and keep reiterating the fact we said never again, we were the
00:17:02architectures the international bodies that we we
00:17:06we created to... sure we have fair and just world and this
00:17:10global justice based order seems to be collapsing and Britain
00:17:14will not be looked up on favorably, and
00:17:16you know we have spent most of our lives in my lifetime apologizing for
00:17:20the stance that Margaret thatcher and the conservative government took against apartide South
00:17:24Africa. I feel this will be exactly the same but a different
00:17:27scale. We will be on the wrong side of history, we will
00:17:31find that if we do not act sooner, it could
00:17:35even get worse, we must act from. British member of
00:17:39parliament, Shalkat Adam, thank you so much. Thank you,
00:17:43thank you for giving me the opportunity.
00:17:47It's not just trade with illegal Israeli settlements that's under growing
00:17:50scrutiny. Israel's participation in major sporting
00:17:53events is also in the spotlight. In 2025, the
00:17:57football Association of Ireland overwhelmingly backed motion to call on
00:18:01UEFA, football's governing body in Europe, to ban Israel
00:18:05from competitions citing violations the. UEFA statutes, but
00:18:09the association's president insisted that Ireland would play Israel if drawn
00:18:13against them in competition, and they were, now many in the game are backing a
00:18:16boycott the matches later this year, among them is Daniel
00:18:20Lambert, the chief commercial officer at Bohemian FC, one of
00:18:24Ireland's top football clubs. He's also manager the band
00:18:27k and joins us
00:18:29now. Daniel Lambert, some
00:18:33European governments are taking action against Israel's illegal occupation, but from
00:18:37most it's still business is usual. if politicians fail
00:18:41to act, just how crucial is the role of civil society.
00:18:45yeah, huge pair of rests with people, and I think we often forget that
00:18:49the the governments across the world have abdicated their legal responsibilities, their moral
00:18:53responsibilities, the responsibility to prevent the worst crimes known
00:18:56to to humanity, but people and true
00:19:00some sports, ordinary working class, people through boycots
00:19:04and they they hold huge power and ireland.
00:19:07"um,
00:19:08you know, we have had crucial role in the past in this, we had a group of of
00:19:11workers who worked a a grocery store in Dublin
00:19:15in the 1980s, led by a 19-year-old woman called Mary
00:19:19Manning who um, helped to bring down a party in South
00:19:23Africa by refusing to handle South African goods and a checkout, and that's just one
00:19:26example, and I think that when an artist steps onto a stage or footballer onto
00:19:30a pitch or actor onto set, they have huge power,
00:19:34huge profile, and they can do more maybe than they realize and..." "we
00:19:37should support everybody who who does that,
00:19:41because like like I said, when governments aren't willing to act,
00:19:45it's up to people and the real power restful people. there was a
00:19:48massive global solidarity movement in South Africa, but are you
00:19:52sensing anything similar on the global stage today when it comes
00:19:56to Israel and Palestine? are you seeing real
00:19:59change? i think that what what we're seeing
00:20:03on the one hand, i think it's one the biggest global movements that has been in decades."
00:20:07um against uh Israeli aggression and Israeli genocide
00:20:11and Israeli war crimes, but on
00:20:13the other hand what we're seeing is um an
00:20:16absolute abject failure and particularly I'd say the
00:20:20EU, the EU's claims that it represents
00:20:23you know
00:20:24moral position, the absolute refusal to uh to to
00:20:27withdraw the the preferential trade agreement between the EU and Israel, which is
00:20:31predominantly being blocked by Germany, the these are absurdities, the US
00:20:34is
00:20:35the the US as we know is moral standing anyway and the EU has has almost no more
00:20:39world standing either um, but I do think that
00:20:42the the movement of people will succeed and I think that what we're seeing
00:20:46um we're seen it in football, we're seen it in music and we're seeing it...
00:20:50um with civil society and I think that we can't um we cannot
00:20:54lose faith and lose hope in that
00:20:56you know we can bring about change and I do think that you're seeing in the US I think in
00:21:00particular um on the one hand
00:21:02you know a further embedding the US military system with the Israeli
00:21:06system but also I think what you're seeing is is is awareness
00:21:10probably a bigger awareness than ever the depth the
00:21:14Israeli lobby people are more aware of that now than ever and I think
00:21:17that
00:21:18the these things will all converge to. point where where we can
00:21:22um Israel can be held to account. there is much more
00:21:26awareness, you're right, a popular level across the world, but what
00:21:29would convince you that we have reached a tipping
00:21:32point? well really with to reach tipping point, what
00:21:36we need to see is governments act on their legal
00:21:39responsibilities, and these include for instance, we've seen
00:21:43various countries ignore the responsibilities in terms the arrest
00:21:47of um Netanyahu and other members the... israely government who are wanted for
00:21:51war crimes um, but I think the EU is where
00:21:54really uh we we should and can and will, I think
00:21:58begin to see movement, I think Spain in particular has been very strong
00:22:01and I'm sad to say and I will I will say because the truth the Irish government does not do
00:22:05enough at all, the Irish government doesn't represent the wishes the Irish people um in
00:22:09terms of of Palestine, they they say some nice things and they take small
00:22:13steps, but very little concrete action, and um you know
00:22:17I think a lot more can be done, what more can be done? I mean
00:22:20specifically, where do you see the most leverage? I
00:22:24think there needs to be action taken, it's not enough just to attend to
00:22:27solidarity uh demonstration,
00:22:29you know, you need to actually take concrete action, but that's the boycott movement. I do think the increase
00:22:33awareness though, like I think that you noir Starmer's
00:22:37resignation, I think a significant part to that was his
00:22:41absolute uh know,
00:22:42refusal to
00:22:45um, you uphold the UK's legal and moral responsibilities, particularly from somebody who claimed to be
00:22:49an international. human rights law in the past, but are you hopeful that the next government will be any
00:22:53different? well, I think if they're aware that that's part the reason that that car is no longer
00:22:57in position and then it will change some their behaviors. I think that
00:23:01um, look, we should be under uh illusion here, the the task ahead
00:23:05is massive, um, it's wrapped up a military industrial complex, it's wrapped
00:23:08up in huge finance, and it's wrapped up with the you know with
00:23:12the you more or less the hegemonic world power in the US at the moment, backing Israel
00:23:15just again inexplicably on every level, financially, militarily, with support,
00:23:20intelligence um and with thats to other nations um which is part the
00:23:24reason that Ireland doesn't do more because the the US the role US multinationals in this
00:23:27country so there's never been probably a bigger challenge uh this this
00:23:31is um something that you know
00:23:34it is a David situation but I do feel and I do
00:23:38believe in the
00:23:39in in humanity and there our areas where they can't control um
00:23:43what can be said and impact it can have and like one example of that obviously and
00:23:47which which I'm which I'm close to in terms of managing necap. is the ability of artists
00:23:51when they step onto a stage and they can speak to 40, 50, 60 thousand young people
00:23:54immediately speak to millions of people with social media, likewise football
00:23:58clubs and and and footballers and and all that
00:24:02space in music, sport and culture, you can speak to large numbers of
00:24:05people, how much impact did k cap have on the whole
00:24:08discussion, the whole debate on Palestine, Israel? I think it's
00:24:12hard to overstate, I think ultimately where you know when the the band went
00:24:16to Coachella last April, it was obviously it's it's a huge f'. festival, it's
00:24:20probably the one the most well-known festivals globally and and
00:24:24the most well-known in the US and they went there and decided to speak
00:24:28truth to audience of young Americans and what was
00:24:32most fascinating and I was looking enough
00:24:33to to be at that gig um was the reaction the young US people
00:24:37in in at that gig, they all chanted free Palestine, they all understood,
00:24:41they all showed solidarity and that is what absolutely scared the US
00:24:45establishment, it was never about k, it was never about this band, what it
00:24:49was about was... happens in a space like coachella where a band
00:24:53not just hangs a flag a drum that that's better than not doing anything but
00:24:56it's pretty pointless that's the acceptable face of solid in the
00:25:00US when you speak out and you say that the US is supporting
00:25:03the genocide
00:25:03and the US were threw a support the genocide stops which is what Nik did that
00:25:07absolutely terrified them because if they lose the young people in the US th
00:25:11ultimately Israel loses US support and of course one the
00:25:14biggest stages for people to express their
00:25:17solidarity with the... cause has been
00:25:21football and the FIFA World Cup,
00:25:24and there's been this intense debate about whether or
00:25:28not double standards can be removed, whether every country can
00:25:31be treated equally, we saw how Russia was suspended
00:25:35from international sport and football, we don't see the same treatment for
00:25:39Israel. Are you optimistic that things could change? Absolutely
00:25:43not, the fact that Iran had to travel from Mexico against the rules the
00:25:47game is outrageous, the game is... is governed by some the
00:25:51worst people
00:25:51on on earth, and I don't say that lightly, it's a working class game, it's meant to
00:25:55bring people together, and FIFA and UWFA are disgraced,
00:25:59and um, the clearest example is that
00:26:02as well. Israel is in breach of UEFA and FIFA statute, it's not my
00:26:06opinion, I've said this before, this is not a subjective issue, it's an absolutely objective
00:26:10fact that they have teams playing on occupied lands 10 teams, it's
00:26:14not under any dispute internationally, and the penalty under FIFA and UEFA
00:26:17statute for teams playing on occupied lands is suspension and explosion, it's
00:26:21already written into their statutes, so you have once again this inexplicable position
00:26:25to protect one nation, Israel, the republic of ireland
00:26:29is due to play Israel in the nations league later this... do
00:26:33you believe that Ireland should refuse its fixtures with the
00:26:37Israeli team, even if it means sanctions against Irish football,
00:26:40absolutely, Ireland should not play Israel in Ireland over the last couple of months and I'm proud to
00:26:44stop the game campaign here, we have had survey of Irish football
00:26:48supporters, 76% don't want the games to take place irrespective of
00:26:51penalties, these are people actually travel to Ireland games, fans the Irish national
00:26:55team, we had a survey the professional players association, the PFAI
00:26:59here, and I think
00:27:01it was 64%. 3% of professional players don't want the game to go
00:27:04ahead, we have the full back in of all unions in Ireland, and top
00:27:08of that we had like a an independent um survey
00:27:12done the general population and it was 56% the general population, there is
00:27:16no support in Ireland for this game amongst football players, football
00:27:20fans or indeed amongst the general population. What's the evidence that these sporting
00:27:24boycots actually do work and change government's
00:27:27behaviors? there's huge evidence to sit the work, we saw what south
00:27:31africa, there was absolute sustained uh system the
00:27:35removal of South Africa from international sports and wrestling and football across the
00:27:39board and ultimately football is the most popular game on the planet when you begin to
00:27:43remove team from football not only does it does it does it
00:27:46demonstrate that this is unacceptable behavior internationally it demonstrates to
00:27:50actually Israels within Israel you're being removed for
00:27:53reason you need to take action against your government
00:27:56you need to change what your government is doing so it has impact on both sides and i think
00:28:00that you know it'll be really sad "Ireland decides
00:28:03to fulfill that fixture, it's already been moved outside of Ireland to Serbia, it should
00:28:07not go ahead and there is no support for the game to proceed, and we see universal
00:28:11support for the game not to take place amongst the fans of League of Arland clubs
00:28:14including our own club here, Bohemians, but every other club in
00:28:17the league as well, and it's something that can have lot of impact and it shouldn't take
00:28:20place. Daniel Lambert, thanks so much for joining
00:28:23us, thanks lot, clear
00:28:27shift is underway across Europe and around the world, the demand
00:28:31that Israel's..." carry consequences is growing
00:28:34louder, although the European Union has failed to reach a collective
00:28:38position, increasing number of states are no longer willing to wait for
00:28:42consensus, when political leaders refuse to meet their legal and
00:28:46moral responsibilities, the burden shifts to civil
00:28:49society, from sport and culture, to academia and
00:28:52business. history has repeatedly shown that meaningful changes
00:28:56often driven not by governments, but by the people. that's all
00:29:00from
00:29:01me and the team. thanks for watching.
