Irish Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead McGuire, who arrived in Gaza on the "Free Gaza" boat, says the United Nations should suspend or revoke ‘Israel's' membership for ignoring a series of United Nations resolutions over the years. Maguire won the 1976 peace prize for her work with Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland.

She is visiting the Palestinian territories to protest ‘Israel's' blockade of the Gaza Strip. Maguire told a news conference Thursday that it's time for the international community to take action against ‘Israel'.

Last month, Maguire and 27 international protesters sailed into the Gaza Strip in the "Free Gaza" boat to bring attention to ‘Israel's' blockade of Strip.
