Israel angry Irish PM tweet doesn't condemn Hamas

Israel summons Irish ambassador over tweet celebrating release of 9-year-old girl, Emily Hand, from Hamas captivity. Israeli officials criticize Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar for portraying Emily's situation as a disappearance rather than a violent abduction by Hamas militants. Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen accuses Varadkar of legitimizing terrorism. Spain and Belgium ambassadors were also called in for criticizing Israel's high civilian death toll in Gaza.
