Israel shuts Dublin embassy over Ireland’s support for Palestine
Israel has officially closed its embassy in Ireland, citing the country’s “extreme anti-Israel policies.”
Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris countered the claim, saying Ireland is “pro-peace and pro-human rights.”
The decision follows Ireland’s recognition of Palestine and its support for legal action against Israel in the International Court of Justice.
Israeli Opposition leader Yair Lapid criticized the closure, calling it a “victory for anti-Semitism.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar defended the move as a response to Dublin’s actions.
Ireland long has backed the Palestinian cause, intervening in genocide claims against Israel at the ICJ.
The closure of the embassy underscores the growing rift, with both nations defending their positions as rooted in justice and international law.
