READ MORE - Taoiseach slates 'despicable, disgraceful and shameful' Israeli decision on UN Palestine aidIsrael is believed to have killed Mr Deif in an air strike but Hamas has never confirmed his death. Micheal Martin said: "There should be no equivocation in condemning Hamas and condemning Hezbollah in terms of what they’ve been doing, and indeed, Iran’s malign role in the region – because it’s a complex issue, it’s not simple."
Speaking on Newstalk radio, Mr Martin said: "I’m very concerned about the United States' approach to the International Criminal Court in that there are 100 signatories, and we have to have accountability at international level through a court system that is independent.
"We have insisted that international law must apply in all circumstances, at all times, and in all places, and that those responsible for breaches, those who commit war crimes and crimes against humanity, must be held fully to account." The ambassador said Israel "rejects categorically" assertions that it has carried out war crimes in Gaza.
