Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian protesters yesterday on the border with Gaza, killing at least 60 people and injuring many others.

The protests were in response to the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem.

The events have been declared the deadliest in Gaza in years.

Zev Boker, the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland, has been summoned by Tánaiste Simon Coveney to hear about the government's outrage at yesterday's violence.

The Ambassador joined us on the programme to answer questions about what has occurred.
