Israel is engaging in a campaign of "disinformation" against UN agencies to scupper any possibility of a two-state solution, the Tánaiste has claimed.

Announcing an extra €20m in immediate funding for the Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), Micheál Martin said he fears the world does not yet know the "extent of the horrors" being carried out in Gaza.
