Ireland's Prime Minister Simon Harris said he "utterly rejects" the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel, as he reacted to Israel's decision to shut down the embassy in the Republic of Ireland on Sunday.
"Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law,” Harris said on X.
"Ireland wants a two state solution and for Israel and Palestine to live in peace and security. Ireland will always speak up for human rights and international law. Nothing will distract from that."
This is a deeply regrettable decision from the Netanyahu government. I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-International law. https://t.co/rDga5GpT3u
