Pressure mounts on Israel as EU to review trade and cooperation over Gaza aid blockade
Meanwhile, the UK government announced this afternoon that it will sanction West Bank settlers and suspend trade deal discussions with Israel.
Tánaiste Simon Harris said the EU's review reflects the "grave concerns" of member states.
Conor O'Neill of Christian Aid Ireland said the review is welcome but "it is not enough".
International pressure has been building on Israel following a months-long blockade of aid into Gaza that prompted famine warnings.
