The UN special rapporteur on Palestine has called on the Irish Government to take additional "concrete actions" against Israel.

Francesca Albanese has warned that Israel is "acting to finish the job" of "erasing Palestinians from Palestine" through a fresh wave of bombardment and ground offensives in Gaza in recent days.
