Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Friday while talking with reporters during his visit to South Korea that Israel's actions are becoming more and more concerning.

"I strongly believe that … Israel has the right to defend itself, has the right to go after Hamas ... [However], what I'm seeing unfolding at the moment isn't just self-defense. It looks, resembles something more approaching revenge," Varadkar commented.

He underscored that this shouldn't be the trajectory for Israel. "That's not where we should be," he insisted.
