The United Nations Security Council has called for an immediate and unconditional humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.
The current truce ends at lunchtime – but it's already been broken with Hamas and Israel firing on each other.
Over 1,030 Palestinians have been killed in the current conflict, as well as 45 Israelis.
Meanwhile Sinn Féin says there's no excuse not to recall the Dáil, now that the Seanad's returning to discuss the Gaza crisis.
It was revealed last night that senators will cut short their summer recess to debate the conflict, but it's still unclear when those talks will take place.
A potential date of next week has been mooted, but specific procedures must be adhered to if the upper house is to reopen.
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams says TDs also need to be brought back – and he wants to hear why the Government failed to support a UN human rights inquiry in the Middle East.
