Sir, – Speaking in Washington on Wednesday, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar opined that he believes that US president Joe Biden’s “heart is in the right place” with regard to Gaza. Who does Mr Varadkar think is supplying the munitions that are being used by Israel to brutally kill tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza? Who does he think has repeatedly ordered the US representative on the UN Security Council to veto widely supported resolutions calling for a permanent ceasefire? Mr Varadkar needs to speak truth to power regarding the horror in Gaza. Disappointingly, he appears instead to be more interested in flattering his host. – Yours, etc,
