Israel to close embassy in Ireland after Dublin backs Gaza genocide case

Israel says it will close its embassy in Ireland, citing Dublin’s recognition of a Palestinian state and support for South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for its actions in Gaza.
“The decision to close Israel’s embassy in Dublin was made in light of the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government,” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said in a statement on Sunday.

Bobby McDonagh is a former Irish ambassador to the UK, the European Union and Italy.
He says Israel's move to close the embassy, reflects its inability to accept a balanced approach to the Palestine issue.
