The GAA and the GPA have released a joint-statement expressing their ‘deep concerns’ about the crisis in Gaza.
Both organisations called for an end to the violence in Gaza after making charitable donations to relief work in the region. The statement comes after Ireland, Spain and Norway officially recognised the state of Palestine earlier this week.
The statement reads: “The GAA and the GPA share the deep concerns expressed by many of our members about the ongoing humanitarian crisis and escalating violence in Gaza.
“We support the Irish Government and international community's calls for an immediate and sustained ceasefire which will allow aid to reach Gaza and for all hostages to be released.
“We will be donating to the Irish Red Cross to support relief work in Gaza.”
