Israel to Close its Poland Embassy, "Extreme Anti-Israel Policies of the Irish Government" Cited as Reason

Israel will close its embassy in Dublin. News reports quoting Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, stated on Sunday that Israel took the decision reportedly because of "extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish Government".

Ireland, a small country in Europe with nearly little military presence though with high socio-ethical values, is for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine issue, and recognizes the ‘Palestine statehood’. In fact, there are more nations in Europe including countries like Spain that recognise Palestine statehood and want the war in Middle-East to end immediately.

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris, however, regretted the decision of Israel and posted on X:   "I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law".
