  • Israel's Foreign Minister, Gideon Saar, announced on Sunday that the Israeli embassy in Dublin will be closed. The reason cited is "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government," reported "The Times of Israel".

The article from MSN discusses the closure of the Israeli embassy in Dublin due to Ireland's perceived anti-Israeli stance.

The closure was announced by Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, who criticized Ireland for what he described as rewarding terrorism. The move has sparked a debate on diplomatic relations, with some seeing it as an overreaction, while others view it as a necessary step in response to Ireland's policies. The closure affects diplomatic, consular, and cultural activities, potentially straining bilateral relations further. This development is part of a broader context of international reactions to the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
