Ireland, which has recognized the state of Palestine, says it stands for human rights and international law.
Israel closes its embassy in the Republic of Ireland and accuses the government in Dublin of “anti-Israel” policies.
Dublin has strongly opposed the war on Gaza and recognized the state of Palestine.

So what’s behind Israel’s move and why now?
