    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Speaking in a plenary session in Strasbourg on Tuesday, Daley, who is a member of the left-wing Irish party Independents 4 Change, which is part of the European Parliament group The Left in the European Parliament- GUE/NGL, criticized the U.S. president for supporting Israel and authorizing airstrikes on positions held by Iran-backed Houthis inside Yemen last week.

    In December, he told a campaign fundraising event that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is “starting to lose support” and that changes needed to be made because of the mounting death toll in Gaza.

    “I understand their passion,” the president said, in response to pro-Palestinian protesters interrupting a speech he made in Charleston, South Carolina, earlier this month.

    Meanwhile, there have been calls for Irish politicians to show solidarity with the Palestinian people by refusing to attend St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the White House.

    Gerry Carroll, a member of the legislative assembly of Northern Ireland for the People Before Profit party, called for a boycott in January.

    In response, Democratic Massachusetts Representative Richard Neal, who co-chairs the Congressional Friends of Ireland caucus and has had good relations with Sinn Féin, told Politico he disagreed with the expulsion proposal.
