Gideon Sa'ar, Israel's foreign minister, stated that the closure of the embassy in Ireland was due to 'extreme anti-Israeli policies' and support for the ICJ petition.
Taoiseach Simon Harris emphasized that Ireland is 'pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law,' rejecting claims of being anti-Israel and advocating for a two-state solution.
Sa'ar asserted that Irish actions against Israel involved 'delegitimisation and demonisation of the Jewish state' and accused Ireland of crossing 'all red lines' in diplomatic relations.
Israel's decision to close the embassy was also influenced by its perceived lack of consistent international measures, as shown by Israel's different reactions to other countries joining the ICJ petition.
