Cork City Council has flown the Palestinian flag on the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in the past, a gesture which reflects the deep-felt solidarity and links between communities in Cork and in Palestine.

Cork City Council acknowledges the complexity of this recent crisis and considers that it would be inappropriate not to continue flying the flag on the United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, at this time of great suffering.

Cork City Council regrets the recent violence in Israel and Palestine and supports the Irish Government’s call for a sustainable humanitarian ceasefire. It is clear that there can be no military solution to this crisis.

Cork City Council has built trust and an excellent working relationship with the Mission of the State of Palestine in Dublin in 2023 in order to meet the aspirations of Council motions pertaining to deepening links with a city in Palestine.

Cork City Council remains committed to developing projects with Palestinian partners in the spirit of a practical and meaningful solidarity.
