Dana Erlich, Israel’s ambassador to Ireland, has criticised RTÉ for giving what she calls “a free pass” to Palestinian representatives in the broadcaster’s coverage of the war on Gaza.

In an interview with the Sunday Independent, Ms Erlich claimed the broadcaster has been “one-sided” in its reporting.
