For more than a year, Israel has been battling war on many sides. Israel jumped into the war after Hamas entered Israel and massacred more than a thousand people. Since then, Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and Houthis have carried out large-scale attacks on Israel. At the same time, many countries around the world are also accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. Amidst all this, Israel has announced the closure of its embassy in Ireland, an important European country.
Why was the embassy closed?
Israel on Sunday informed about its decision to close its embassy in Ireland. Israel has said that it has decided to close its embassy in Ireland due to deteriorating relations over the issue of war in Gaza. According to Palestinian medical officials, 30 people, including many children, have died in Israel’s recent air strikes in Gaza.
What did the Israeli Foreign Minister say?
Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has said on this issue that due to Ireland’s ‘anti-Israel policies’, it has been decided to close the Israeli embassy there. He said that Ireland has crossed the limit regarding its relations with Israel. Let us tell you that earlier in May, Ireland, Norway, Spain and Slovenia had announced to recognize Palestine. After this, Israel had recalled its ambassador based in Dublin.
Just last week, the Irish cabinet decided to intervene in the case against Israel in the International Court in which Israel has been accused of committing genocide in Gaza. However, Israel has clearly denied the allegations.
