Micheál Martin says Irish travel ban for Israeli settlers is being worked on

A number of countries have suspended funding to the agency after some of its staff were allegedly linked to Hamas.

Tanaiste Micheál Martin has called for a consensus on an immediate humanitarian ceasefire to be made by the UN Security Council.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin has said an Irish travel ban for Israeli settlers is being worked on and said the country would continue to persuade Hungary to join with the rest of the EU in implementing more significant sanctions against Israel.

Travel bans against Israeli settlers are set to be imposed by individual countries after ministers failed to agree to EU-wide sanctions.
