We have yet to hear back from Fianna Fail in relation to the current pledges, so at this point we can only advise on previous statements and actions. Fianna Fail proposed the motion in the Seanad in October 2014 calling for recognition of Palestine and its members spoke in favour of the Dail Motion.

Despite unopposed Dail and Seanod motions to recognise the State of Palestine in 2014, the Fine Gael led government refused to do so.

During the Israeli onslaught on Gaza in 2014, at a time when one Palestinian child was being killed per hour, Minister Charlie Flanagan abstained from a successful UN vote to set up human rights inquiry on Gaza.

Sadaka received this response to its election pledge from Fine Gael.

In response to our pledge Sinn Féin stated "Sinn Fein have long campaigned for these demands, we will implement them if in Government after the election, and we´ll continue to demand them if we are in opposition after the election."
Recognition: Sinn Fein have been supportive of recognition, proposing the motion in the Dail. It is also a firm commitment in you manifesto for this election. On this subject we discussed the group of party spokespersons that was to discuss recognition and drive the issue forward, a group which did not have time to work before the dissolution of the Dail. You stated that if formal recognition is not implemented by the next government that Sinn Fein would look to establish this group again to keep the pressure up and to keep driving the issue.
Arms Trade: Sinn Fein supports full boycott divestment and sanctions which would include ending all arms sales.
Settlement Trade: Sinn Fein supports full boycott divestment and sanctions which would include ending trade with settlements
Gaza: Sinn Fein have consistently opposed the illegal blockade of Gaza and the collective punishment of the Palestinians living there. Sinn Fein members in the past have participated in the freedom flotillas to protest this. Sinn Fein also believe that pressure should be put on Egypt in relation to its responsibilities at the Rafah Crossing and their role in Maintaining the blockade.
Children: Sinn Fein is disturbed by the increasing use of administrative detention against children, and the increasing use of solitary confinement of children and believe Israel should be held to its obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and indeed all international treaties it is a party to.

Gaza: Labour support more action on rebuilding Gaza and an end to the blockade.
Recognition: Labour support formal recognition, and would implement it if in a position to do so.
Children: fully supportive of raising the issue of Israel's treatment of Palestinian children.
Ban on Settlement trade: support ban on settlement trade. The settlements are not part of Israel and should not get the same treatment as Israel.
Arms Trade: The Labour party supports a tightening of Dual Use licenses system including greater transparency. However as Israel has a legitimate right to trade, Labour would not support a ban of arms procurement from Israel by Ireland so long as it is purchased from within Israel and not from illegal settlements. Labour would however be happy to explore alternative military suppliers for our defence forces.

The Green Party/Comhaontas Glas support all parts of the Sadaka Pledge.
The Green Party believes that International law needs to be strengthened and there should be no impunity for those who break it. In relation to the specific case of Palestine, the 49 year occupation and the abuses that support it must end. This will only happen when the world community acts.
Recognition of a Palestinian state: The Green Party fully support formal recognition of the state of Palestine
Gaza: The Green Party will continue to raising the issue of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Colonies/Settlements: The Green Party supports Ireland taking a lead at an EU level to push for an end to trade with Illegal settlements.
Arms Trade: The Green Party supports ending arms trading, both government procurement and dual use exporting, with all countries with questionable human rights records including but not limited to Israel
Palestinian Children: The Green Party supports measures to ensure that all parties live up to their obligations under international law and human rights treaties and to ensure they are enforced fully.

We have yet to hear back from the Renua in relation to the current pledges.

The Socialist Party are now part of the AAA. Please see below.

The Anti Austerity Alliance stated that it full supports the positions of Sadaka and will work to achieve them in the next Dail.

'People Before Profit as a party, are totally committed to the cause of the Palestinian people, and completely opposed to the illegal Israeli occupation. We pledge to support sanctions against Israel and support the global BDS campaign.'
Party Leader Richard Boyd Barret has been an outspoken critic of the continuing occupation of Palestine and in the past has called for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador. Richard Boyd Barrett also sits on the Joint Oireachtas Committee for Foreign Affairs and Trade and has sparred with the Israeli Ambassador at this committee- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RYBV1X7_CM .

The Social Democrats don't have agreed international policy positions. It is expected such policy will be discussed, debated and agreed after the elections as we develop formal party structures. During the Debate on Recognition on Palestine in the last Dail Eireann Catherine Murphy and Stephen Donnelly both spoke in favour of the motion and condemned the violence in Gaza.

"The Workers Party’s existing policy is in line with the pledges."

We have yet to hear back from The Independent Alliance in relation to the current pledges.

The position of Independent candidates varies widely so its probably best to consider each on their own statements on Palestine.
