READ HERE<\/a><\/strong>: Israeli ambassador Dana Erlich\u00a0\u201cshould no longer enjoy diplomatic status in Ireland,”<\/em>\u00a0Sinn Fein party leader Mary Lou McDonald said on Friday. McDonald\u2019s party, which has deep historical ties to the Palestinian cause, has repeatedly condemned Israel\u2019s bombardment of Gaza.<\/h3>\n

“[The Israel Defence Forces] are engaged in a ferocious military offensive against a civilian population; breaking international law by targeting civilians, destroying civilian infrastructure, forcing mass population displacement and cutting off vital supplies of water, food, medicines and fuel,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0McDonald told reporters.<\/h3>\n

Erlich\u2019s presence in Ireland has become\u00a0\u201cuntenable,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0McDonald continued, adding that the ambassador should\u00a0\u201cno longer enjoy diplomatic status in Ireland while Israel refuses the imperative for ceasefires and as the suffering and death toll grow.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n
