Palestine’s United Nations ambassador, Riyad Mansour, says countries that have recognised the state of Palestine need to follow up with tough sanctions to rein in Israel’s actions in Gaza.

“We will see more viciousness in the next few weeks, maybe a month or two, before the world can say to them, ‘Enough is enough … you are not going to continue on this path of insanity, we are going to impose on you all the sanctions possible, all the pressure possible, to stop you in your tracks,’” he said.
