President has been 'clear' in his condemnation of all killings in Gaza, says spokesman

Labour leader Ivana Bacik said the Israeli ambassador's position in Ireland is 'under question'

Dana Elrich told the Sunday Independent the effects of President Michael D Higgins' comments were 'inflammatory' and had 'unfortunately' spread misinformation.

President Michael D Higgins has been “clear” in comments about the war between Israel and Hamas and has condemned all killings that have taken place, his spokesman has said.

The response from Áras an Uachtaráin comes after the Israeli ambassador to Ireland, Dana Erlich, accused President Higgins of making misinformed comments after he accused Israel of breaking international law.
