Israel Closes Embassy in Dublin Over Ireland's Support for ICJ Genocide Case
Dec 15, 2024, 03:07 PM
Israel has announced the closure of its embassy in Dublin, citing the Irish government's 'extreme anti-Israel policies.' Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stated that the decision was made due to Ireland's recognition of a Palestinian state and its support for legal action against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), including allegations of genocide. Saar accused Ireland of crossing 'every red line' and engaging in 'antisemitic rhetoric,' including delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state. He noted that Ireland joined South Africa in accusing Israel of genocide at the ICJ. The closure marks a significant escalation in diplomatic tensions between the two countries.
