Israel Closes Embassy in Dublin Over Irish Stance

Israel has decided to close its embassy in Dublin, Ireland, in response to what it describes as “extreme anti-Israel policies” by the Irish government. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced the closure on Sunday, stating that Ireland had crossed “every red line” in its relationship with Israel. This diplomatic move follows Ireland’s recent announcement of joining South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has praised Ireland’s decision to support the ICJ case. The backdrop to this diplomatic spat includes the ongoing conflict in Gaza, where nearly 45,000 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, have been killed since October of the previous year. Additionally, UN experts have accused Israel of using starvation as a “weapon of war” in the region. The closure of the embassy signifies a sharp escalation in the tensions between Ireland and Israel.
