🚨NEW: Rally at Stormont calling for Education Minister Paul Givan to resign. 👥Speakers are addressing a crowd gathered to demand Mr Givan step down following his recent trip to Israel, during which he visited a school and asked his department to publicise it on official social media channels. The rally comes after confirmation that Sinn Féin and The SDLP will back a motion of no confidence brought forward by Gerry Carroll of People Before Profit. Two people also here with an Israel flag. Chief Reporter James is there. In a statement posted to Facebook on Saturday, Mr Givan said: “Over the past week, I have been vilified by those who have sought to call into question my character and my commitment to the people of Northern Ireland. The very same people among whom, today in Belfast, were shouting the antisemitic chant ‘From the river to the sea.’” He added: “I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been in touch with messages of support. I will continue to represent the people of Lagan Valley and Northern Ireland with the same energy and enthusiasm that I have always brought to public life.”

🚨🗣NEW: 'Serious questions for Education Minister and Civil Service' following Israel visit. 🎥Chief Reporter James speaking to Alliance Party Deputy Leader Eóin Tennyson MLA. ⁉️He says he and his party want to know in what capacity Education Minister Paul Givan travelled to Israel. He added that the Minister’s actions have caused distress, and made clear that he would not have taken part in the visit if asked. A DUP spokesperson said: “DUP representatives are part of a wider group, including from other parts of the UK, visiting Israel at the invitation of the Israeli embassy. The visit comes at no cost to UK taxpayers. "It speaks to the levels some are stooping to manufacture criticisms when the issue appears to be people visiting a school which educates Jewish, Arab and Christian children together.”
