As wars in Gaza and Ukraine dominate headlines, Irish MEP Clare Daly is raising her voice for peace—and calling out what she calls the West’s \"dangerous silence.\" In a candid interview, the European Parliament member criticized recent EU resolutions and challenged global leaders to prioritize dialogue over escalation. Here’s what you need to know.
Gaza: \"A Humanitarian Catastrophe\"
With Israel’s ground offensive looming, Daly didn’t hold back: \"We’re watching a tragedy unfold in real-time.\" She slammed the EU’s response as \"toothless\" and urged immediate ceasefire talks. \"Where’s the urgency? Every hour without action costs lives,\" she said.
Ukraine: Winter of Discontent
As the Russia-Ukraine war enters its second winter, Daly called the conflict a \"failure of diplomacy.\" \"Negotiations aren’t surrender—they’re survival,\" she argued, stressing that frozen frontlines shouldn’t mean frozen diplomacy.
Leadership Crisis? \"Silence Isn’t an Option\"
Daly’s sharpest words were for global powers: \"We’ve got leaders stuck in echo chambers. It’s like a bad TikTok algorithm—no new ideas, just doubling down on mistakes.\" She urged younger generations to demand accountability: \"Peace isn’t trending, but it should be.\"
