2024 closure of the Israeli embassy in Dublin
In December 2024, Israel announced that its embassy in Ireland would close owing to what the Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar described as Irish "demonisation of the Jewish state" during the Gaza war. Ireland's Taoiseach, Simon Harris, responded to the announcement, saying "Ireland’s foreign policy is founded on our deep commitment to dialogue and to the peaceful resolution of disputes." He added, "I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law." The Tánaiste, Micheál Martin said, "The continuation of the war in Gaza and the loss of innocent lives is simply unacceptable and contravenes international law. It represents the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza."
