Israel has announced it will close its embassy in Dublin, citing the Irish government’s recognition of Palestinian statehood and accusations against Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip as the reason for the move.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar condemned Ireland’s “extreme anti-Israel policies” in a statement. In contrast, Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris rejected Israel’s criticisms, calling the embassy closure “deeply regrettable”. The situation marks a significant escalation in tensions between the two countries over their differing views on Palestinian statehood and human rights issues.
