Israel closes Dublin embassy and accuses government of 'crossing every red line'

Israel has decided to close its embassy in Dublin and recall its ambassador, Dana Erlich, following a series of statements from the Irish government that Israel perceives as crossing "every red line." This decision comes in the wake of Ireland's recognition of Palestine as a state, alongside Spain and Norway, which has significantly strained diplomatic relations. The Irish Prime Minister, Simon Harris, has been vocal about his criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, accusing them of causing a humanitarian crisis. Additionally, Ireland's Deputy Prime Minister, Micheal Martin, has condemned Israel's military operations, particularly highlighting the impact on civilians. Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, has accused Ireland of rewarding terrorism through its stance, leading to the diplomatic fallout. This move by Israel is seen as a direct response to what it considers hostile actions and rhetoric from the Irish government.
