Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin has said he is"deeply concerned at the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory."
"The decision by the Israeli military to tell the entire civilian population in the north of the Gaza strip to move southward for their own safety is deeply dangerous and impossible to implement. He added that he is"also deeply concerned about rising violence and deaths in the West Bank, including increased incidents of settler violence and displacement of Palestinian communities.
He also criticised those in Irish politics who were initially slow to condemn the attack and he said that Ireland is equally resolute that Israel must uphold humanitarian principles. Speaking on RTÉ's The Week in Politics, she also said Israel's request for civilians to move south from Gaza is not realistic, warning it will risk the lives of thousands of people.
"I utterly condemn the brutal attacks by Hamas but we need to, in response, make sure we do not see the same type of loss of life and we are all starting to see that, 700 children killed in Gaza alone in the last few days."
