People Before Profit (PBP) has called on opposition TDs to co-sign a Dáil motion that would push for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and seek to introduce sanctions against Israel.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, PBP TD Richard Boyd Barrett said that the motion is being brought forward to put additional pressure on the Government to further denounce the actions of Israel.
