The Tánaiste is to “seek real sanction” measures against Israel after a review found it violated the terms of the country’s agreement with the EU.

Simon Harris will meet fellow foreign ministers in Copenhagen this week, where he said he will seek “concrete actions” from the bloc in response to the catastrophic situation in Gaza.
