Europe could do a ‘hell of a lot more’ to pressure Israel on a ceasefire: Ireland

The Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris has said Europe could be doing a “hell of a lot more” to exert pressure on Israel for a ceasefire in Gaza.

“If everybody says they want to see a cessation of violence – the United States says it, the European Union says it – it’s not enough to just say it,” said Harris on Tuesday.

“We have to challenge ourselves: what more can we do to make it effective,” he said adding that so far any steps towards a ceasefire has been “ineffective”.
