Israel has announced the closure of its embassy in Dublin, citing the Irish government’s ‘extreme anti-Israel’ policies. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar condemned Ireland’s support for legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice and criticized its recognition of a Palestinian state. Irish leaders, including Taoiseach Simon Harris and Tánaiste Micheál Martin, expressed regret over the closure, emphasizing the importance of diplomatic communication and adherence to international law amidst ongoing conflicts in Gaza.
