  • Conor McGregor criticized recent protests in Ireland where demonstrators displayed flags of Hamas and Hezbollah, labeling the actions unacceptable.
  • The fighter called for legislation to criminalize raising terrorist organization flags on Irish soil, emphasizing the need for stricter measures.
  • McGregor has been vocal about his opposition to Hamas and previously criticized Ireland's Prime Minister Leo Varadkar for downplaying terrorist actions.
  • The protests occurred as part of wider tensions following the October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and ongoing global debates about the Israel-Palestine conflict.
