The Palestinian ambassador to Ireland has called on the Government to join a genocide case against Israel following a ruling by the UN’s top court.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered Israel to take measures to prevent and punish direct incitement of genocide in its war in Gaza but stopped short of calling for a ceasefire.
