Statement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin on the killing of an Indonesian UNIFIL peacekeeper
- Published on: 30 March 2026

I strongly condemn the killing of an Indonesian UNIFIL peacekeeper and the shocking escalation of violence that has injured a number of peacekeepers in recent days. The role of the peacekeeper must be respected and honoured at all times.
Both Israel and Hezbollah must do everything in their power to keep peacekeepers from harm. I have been briefed by our Defence Forces and all Irish personnel serving in Lebanon continue to be well and accounted for.
