Ireland's Republican Sinn Fein party has sent its condolences to Al Mayadeen following the martyrdom of its journalists, Farah Omar and Rabih Me'mari, and their colleague Hussein Akil. 

"Firstly I would just like to extend my condolences to all at Al Mayadeen on the loss of Farah Omar and Rabih Me'mari in a despicable murder by the Israeli occupation. In response to this, the ongoing slaughter taking place in Gaza, and the blockade imposed on Yemen, the following motions were passed on Saturday at the Ard-Fheis (annual party conference) of Republican Sinn Féin."

The party further emphasized its support for "the right of the Palestinian people to oppose occupation using any level of controlled and disciplined force", and "that this Ard-Fheis [high assembly] stands with the people of Palestine and Gaza as they face the onslaught of the apartheid Israeli state". 

It also condemned "the Israeli government for the bombing of Gaza and the West Bank and reaffirms our support for the Palestinian people in their struggle against the occupation."

The party said it "extends our condolences to the Al Mayadeen journalists, Farah Omar and Rabih Me'mari, murdered in an Israeli drone strike on Tuesday - as well as the dozens of other journalists martyred amidst the current onslaught on Gaza". 

"Solidarity greetings" were also sent "to the Axis of Resistance fighting the US-sponsored Imperialist aggression in the Arab world, and salutes all those resisting and deplores the man-made famine being perpetrated on the people of Yemen."

According to the Irish party, its name was adopted in 1986, and motions in that year's Ard-Fheis witnessed the recognition of the southern 26-County State’s parliament, Leinster House, a neo-colonial pro-British institute.

Republican Sinn Féin is aligned to the Irish Republic declared in 1916, later ratified in the 1918 Irish general election, and as such, neither recognizes Leinster House or Stormont as legitimate governments of Ireland.

It is noteworthy that the Republican Sinn Fein party has long voiced its support for the Palestinian cause and condemned the Israeli occupation crimes against Palestinians, such as forcible expulsion, illegal settlement expansion, and aggression on the Gaza Strip.
