Israel to close embassy in Ireland because of its "extreme anti-Israel policy"

Israel announced the closure of its embassy in Ireland, citing Dublin's recognition of a Palestinian state and support for a genocide case against Israel at the ICJ. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar criticized Ireland's "anti-Israel policy," while opposition leader Yair Lapid opposed the closure. Ireland expressed regret over the decision, reaffirming its commitment to human rights and a two-state solution.
