Israel closes message in Ireland: a diplomatic scandal!

A dramatic chapter in international relationships: Israel pulls the ripcord and closes his message in Ireland! This decision comes after a number of political tensions, which were fueled by the support of Dublin for the Palestinian cause and the legal steps of South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice (IGH).

Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Saar left no doubt that the closure of the message in Dublin is a direct reaction to the Irish government's "extreme anti-Israeli policies". "Ireland has exceeded every red line in its relationships with Israel," said Saar in a sharp message. He emphasized that Israel would now invest his resources in the promotion of bilateral relationships with countries that match his interests and values.

Ireland's answer: A call to humanity

Irish Taoiseach Simon Harris immediately reacted to this decision and described it as "deeply regrettable". He rejected the claim that Ireland was anti-Israel. "Ireland is per peace, per human rights and per international law," said Harris. He affirmed that Ireland is aiming for a two-state solution that enables Israel and Palestine to live in peace and security. "Nothing will prevent us from standing up for human rights and international law," he added.

The tensions between the two countries have intensified in the past few weeks, especially after Ireland has announced that South Africa's legal steps against Israel. This support increases Israel's international isolation, while the country continues to continue its attacks on Gaza, which have already requested at least 44,976 human lives.

a historical context

Ireland has increasingly campaigned for the Palestinians in recent years, which is very well received by the population. Many drag parallels between the Palestinian struggle and the centuries -long struggle of Ireland against the British occupation. In May of this year Ireland was one of only three European countries that recognized the state of Palestine and supported the lawsuit at the IGH, which accuses Israel of the genocide in the Gaza Strip.

In the middle of this political turbulence, Israel has also announced that it would open his message in Moldova as soon as possible. A clear indication that Israel relocates its diplomatic efforts to other regions, while relationships with Ireland have reached a low point.
