Incoming Irish Taoiseach (prime minister) Simon Harris addresses Benjamin Netanyahu directly with some remarkably strong words:

Ramadan Mubarak to all our Muslim friends.

We send our love and solidarity to the people of Palestine.

Nobody should have to break their fast on animal feed, or do Tarawih prayers in the rubble of their mosque.

Ramadan Kareem. The blessed month has arrived.
