Micheál Martin has warned Israel's foreign minister that the bombardment of Gaza will radicalise a new generation.

After a day which saw him traverse Israel and the West Bank, taking in the Kibbutz where Irish girl Emily Hand was last seen as well as Jerusalem and Ramallah, Mr Martin suggested there is no appetite from Israel for a ceasefire.
