Israel and Palestine have criticised a statement from the UN Security Council over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Diplomats had called for an immediate ceasefire to the fighting that has so far killed well over a thousand people.
The United Nations Security Council met last night after a phonecall between the US President and the Israeli Prime Minister.
All 15 members demanded an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, and called for urgently needed assistance to be sent into the area.
However, the Palestinian envoy said it doesn't go far enough, while an Israeli spokesman said the statement doesn't mention Hamas or the firing of rockets over its border.
Israel's ambassador to the UN, Ron Prosor, says peace will only be achieved if the rocket attacks from Hamas stop.
A truce had been called in Gaza overnight, but it was broken by both sides.
Over 1030 Palestinians have now been killed in the current conflict, as well as 45 Israelis.
Palestinian journalist Mohammed Omer is in Gaza city, he says there have been a number of airstrikes this morning despite a current truce:
Back home and it was confirmed last night that the Seanad is to come back from its summer recess to discuss the crisis in Gaza.
The Foreign Affairs Minister is expected to appear before the upper house to discuss the crisis, and Ireland's abstention in a UN vote last week.
It comes after 25 independent and opposition senators signed a petition asking for the house to be recalled, and amid separate moves continue to try and force the government to recall the Dáil.
