Israel faced a growing backlash Tuesday as Belgium and Ireland joins countries who summoned Israeli ambassadors over the killings of 63 Palestinians and more than 2,700 injuries along the Gaza border.
Belgium's Foreign Ministry said it summoned ambassador Simona Frankel over her remarks while Prime Minister Charles Michel said "we call for an international inquiry led by the United Nations", Daily Sabah reported.
Ireland also summoned the Israeli ambassador "to express the government and the people's outrage and dismay" at the deaths of dozens of protesters in Gaza, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said.
Varadkar added that the government was "profoundly shocked at the death toll and the scale of injuries that have been inflicted by Israeli forces on Palestinian demonstrators", calling for an "independent, international investigation" into the bloody protests on Monday.
"There's no indication that the scale of the threat could have justified such violence and so many deaths," Varadkar stated in the Irish parliament.
