The trade union umbrella group, which sent a delegation to the region, said it was taking the action in a bid to encourage Israeli compliance with international law and to cease its violation of the human rights of the Palestinian people.
Its pleas for change were made as Israel officially confirmed that a ceasefire with Hamas militants will begin this week in an effort to end a year of fighting that has killed more than 400 Palestinians and seven Israelis.

"We are calling for the Irish public and anyone with any influence or power to join us..."
