SUMMARY
Israel plans to close its embassy in Dublin due to "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government," according to Foreign Minister Gideon Saar. This follows Ireland's support for South Africa's legal action against Israel in the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide.
Ireland announced it would intervene in this case, which began after the military operations in Gaza on October 7, 2023. The intervention aims to uphold the interpretation of the Genocide Convention stressing civilian protection. Israel's ambassador to Dublin was previously recalled after Ireland recognized a 'Palestinian state.'
More updates are expected.
