Israel has accused Ireland of 'anti-Semitic rhetoric'

Israel to close Dublin embassy over Irish anti-Israel policies, including support for Palestinian state and legal action.

Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government", foreign minister Gideon Saar has said, accusing the country of "crossing every red line".

There are "no plans to close Ireland's embassy in Israel" despite the Israeli decision to close its embassy in Dublin, Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheál Martin has said.

The Republic of Ireland has crossed "every red line", Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel said Sunday it will close its embassy in Ireland as relations deteriorated over the war in Gaza, where Palestinian medical officials said new Israeli airstrikes killed over 46 people including several children. The decision to close the embassy came in response to what Israel’s foreign minister has described as Ireland’s “extreme anti-Israel policies.” In May, Israel recalled its ambassador to Dublin after Ireland announced, along with Norway, Spain and Slovenia, it would recognize a Palestinian state.

Children are among those who were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a school in a northern Gaza town, as the death tolls from the horrific onslaught in the Gaza Strip reaches 45,000.
