Israel has announced the closure of its embassy in Ireland on Sunday. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused Ireland of double-mindedness and anti-Israel policy. This decision of Israel has come after Ireland recognized Palestine as a separate state.
Apart from this, Ireland has also supported the genocide case filed by South Africa against Israel in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). South Africa had filed a case against Israel in the ICJ in January this year, accusing it of genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza War.
Foreign Minister Saar accused Ireland of failing to act on rising cases of anti-Semitism. Due to these allegations, Israel had recalled its ambassador from Ireland in May itself.
The picture is of the Israeli Embassy in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.
Ireland expressed regret over Israel’s decision Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris has expressed displeasure over Israel’s decision. He called it regrettable. Harris has also denied the anti-Israel allegations. Harris said that Ireland stands for peace, human rights and international law.
Harris supported the establishment of two separate states i.e. Israel and Palestine (two state solution). On the other hand, Ireland’s Foreign Minister Michael Martin said that diplomatic relations between the two countries will be maintained. Ireland will not close its embassy in Israel.
Israel’s opposition leader and former Prime Minister Yair Lapid has criticized the government’s move. He advised maintaining embassies in anti-Israel countries.
Harris took over as Prime Minister of Ireland in April this year.
Israel will settle new people in Golan Heights Israel has decided to double the population in the Golan Heights. Due to this, new people will be settled here. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that to strengthen Israel, the Golan has to be strengthened. We will retain it and build a new settlement.
The Golan Heights were captured by Israel in 1967. Earlier it was a part of Syria, which was conquered by Israel after a 6-day war. Syria has demanded Israel to withdraw from the area, but Israel has refused, citing security concerns.
Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights was recognized by then US President Donald Trump in 2019. Earlier on Saturday, there was also a phone conversation between Netanyahu and Trump regarding Syria.
