Israel's Irish embassy will be closed
Because of the horrific antisemitism in Ireland, the Israeli embassy will be shuttered:
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar ordered the closure of Israel's embassy in Ireland today, marking a significant downturn in bilateral relations while announcing plans to establish a new diplomatic presence in Moldova.The Irish government's representatives show no sign so far of remorse for their offensive conduct:
The decision to shutter the Dublin mission comes in response to what Sa'ar characterized as the Irish government's "extreme anti-Israel policies." The diplomatic relationship had already been strained after Ireland's unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state, which prompted Israel to recall its ambassador. Tensions escalated further last week when Ireland announced it would join South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, which accuses Israel of genocide.
"Ireland's antisemitic actions and rhetoric against Israel are rooted in delegitimization and demonization of the Jewish state and reflect clear double standards," Sa'ar said. "Ireland has crossed all red lines in its treatment of Israel. We will redirect our resources toward advancing bilateral relations with countries based on priorities that reflect how different nations relate to Israel."
In contrast, Israel's relationship with Moldova is warm and cooperative, with both countries eager to deepen their diplomatic ties. Moldova already maintains an embassy in Israel, and Sa'ar informed Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popșoi of his decision to establish an Israeli embassy in Chișinău, planned for early 2025. The foreign minister has directed his ministry's director general to secure appropriate premises and initiate the process of appointing an ambassador.
Ireland’s Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Simon Harris reacted, “This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law.”This is some of the most embarrassing and repulsive problems with Ireland for decades already. Making matters worse is how the Irish government allows Islamofascists to effectively destroy the country and its safety, and any citizens who supposedly oppose the Religion of Peace's destruction of the island yet consider hostility to Israel acceptable aren't helping matters. Closing the embassy there can save a lot of valuable money, which the relations with Moldova will hopefully be worth investing in.
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.” He continued by ripping Israel for not bowing to the wishes of outsiders, saying, “It’s very, very clear to me though, that Israel is not listening to any country in the world, I don’t even think they’re listening to the Americans anymore. They have become blinded by rage.”
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.
As far back as 1945, within days of Adolf Hitler’s suicide on April 30, 1945, Ireland’s Taoiseach Éamon de Valera called on Eduard Hempel, the Nazi minister to Ireland, to express his condolences.” He said, “I certainly was not going to add to his [Hempel’s] humiliation in the hour of defeat.”
