The consultants argued that Teva, by paying taxes in Israel, ‘directly funds’ government’s military resources
Over 50 consultants at Children’s Health Ireland (CHI) have called on the government to stop procuring medicines manufactured by Israeli pharmaceutical giant Teva when “viable alternatives” exist, according to Irish media reports.
In a letter sent Friday to CHI chief executive Lucy Nugent and Health Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, 57 pediatric consultants linked their demand to what they described as the “ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza,” claiming it met the legal definition of genocide as recognized by bodies such as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.
Ireland has already joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, emphasizing its critical stance toward Israel’s campaign against Hamas terrorists.
