Communication key in handling of Gaza-Israel conflict- Sligo-Leitrim TD

As the conflict in the Middle East continues, one Sligo-Leitrim TD has spoken of her support of the Israeli ambassador. There has been increased calls for the resignation of Dana Erlich from her role. The Social Democrats brought forward a motion to the Dáil calling on the Government to withdraw diplomatic status from the Ambassador and push for the imposition of EU-wide economic sanctions on Israel. While Deputy Marian Harkin agrees with the latter, she says its vital channels of communication are kept open.
