Israel Closes Its Embassy In Ireland

‘Ireland Has Crossed Every Red Line.’
On Sunday, Gideon Sa’ar, Israel’s Foreign Minister, announced Israel would close its embassy in Ireland, citing Ireland’s “extreme anti-Israel policies.”
“The actions and antisemitic rhetoric used by Ireland against Israel are rooted in the delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state, along with double standards. Ireland has crossed every red line in its relations with Israel,” Sa’ar said. “Israel will invest its resources in advancing bilateral relations with countries worldwide according to priorities that also take into account the attitudes and actions of these states toward Israel.”
Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Simon Harris reacted:

Despite Harris’ protestations that Ireland’s government is not anti-Israel, the evidence suggests otherwise.
In February 2024, then-Taoiseach Leo Varadkar denounced a possible Israeli operation into the Hamas stronghold in Rafah, saying it would be a “gross violation of international law on top of all the other violations of international law which Israel is responsible for.”
In May 2024, only days after Harris declared, “I abhor the actions of the Netanyahu government regarding what is happening in the Middle East,” Ireland officially recognized a “Palestinian state.” Harris stated, “The government recognizes Palestine as a sovereign and independent state and agreed to establish full diplomatic relations between Dublin and Ramallah. We had wanted to recognize Palestine at the end of a peace process. However, we have made this move alongside Spain and Norway to keep the miracle of peace alive.”
On November 7, the Irish parliament passed a non-binding motion attacking Israel, stating, “genocide is being perpetrated before our eyes by Israel in Gaza.”
Last week, Ireland joined South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Looking into the past, in 1996, Ireland finally permitted an Israeli embassy in its country; it was the last country in the European Union to open an Israeli embassy in its own country.
