Several thousand people took part in a demonstration in Dublin city centre in support of Palestine today.
It is one of several protests called across the country today.
Crowds marched from the Spire on Dublin's O'Connell Street to the Department of Foreign Affairs on Saint Stephen's Green.
There were chants calling for a ceasefire now and for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland.
Dr Abdullah Al Bayvari, a Palestinian-Irish doctor, addressed the rally on behalf of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Committee.
He called on the Irish Government to take immediate action against Israel saying "the time to act is now, this is the critical moment".
He also called for a boycott and sanctions against Israel and he invited those at the rally today to attend a national demonstration in Dublin next week.
Also speaking at the rally, foreign affairs spokesperson for the the Social Democrats Gary Gannon outlined his motion that will be debated in the Dáil next week.
It includes a call for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador and the end of EU-Israel association agreements.
On the ambassador, he said: "You do not get to sit in this Republic and justify genocide."
Several hundred protesters take part in Belfast rally
Organisers of a pro-Palestine rally in Belfast changed its time and location to avoid a clash with an Armistice Day remembrance event.
Both events were originally due to take place at 11am at Belfast City Hall and there were concerns about possible trouble.
The police maintained a low-key presence around the council offices with public order units and armoured Land Rovers stationed in nearby streets.
A number of loyalists were believed to be preparing to form their own cordon around the perimeter of the Royal British Legion event.
But the organisers of the pro-Palestine rally switched its demonstration to 12pm on the Falls Road in west Belfast.
Several hundred people attended the Armistice Day remembrance event to mark the end of World War One and observed a two-minute silence, including Belfast Lord Mayor Ryan Murphy of Sinn Féin.
An hour later, several hundred protesters took part in the pro-Palestine rally in Dunville Park where they backed calls for an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza.
