EMBASSY IS TO CLOSE AND DIPLOMATS TO BE RECALLED
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announces he will be closing Israel’s embassy in Ireland, citing the “extreme anti-Israel policy of the Irish government.”
Ireland's support for ICJ genocide case marks final straw in year-long deterioration of bilateral relations.
“Ireland's antisemitic actions and rhetoric against Israel are rooted in delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and reflect clear double standards," Sa'ar said. "Ireland has crossed all red lines in its treatment of Israel. We will redirect our resources toward advancing bilateral relations with countries based on priorities that reflect how different nations relate to Israel."
Lior Tibet, an Israeli student who spoke to Israel Hayom in November, emphasized the Irish public largely views Israel as the antagonist in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with political leaders spearheading opposition campaigns, with Ireland being among the most vocal advocates pressing the European Union to reassess its trade agreements with Israel.
"Weekly anti-Israel demonstrations feature Hamas and Hezbollah flags, with calls to globalize the intifada," Lior said.
"Media coverage remains starkly one-sided. When presented with antisemitic incidents, outlets either ignore them entirely or construct forced 'balanced' coverage that minimizes their significance.
This stems from the highest levels – President Michael Higgins dismisses antisemitism claims as Israeli embassy PR Stunts, she added.
Micheál Martin and the President of Ireland / Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D. Higgins can now hang their heads in shame.
This is a significant step which will garner attention around the world.
