Israel’s Ambassador to Ireland, Dana Erlich, has said that the conflict in Gaza “could be over tomorrow” if Hamas laid down their weapons.

Speaking this morning, Ms Erlich said that Israel could not support any calls for a ceasefire until they saw the text of any agreement. “When you say that we need a secession of all the aggressions in Gaza, you are right," she said.
