Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris stated that Israel cannot silence Ireland for condemning its attacks on Palestinians in Gaza, describing Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Dublin as “distraction diplomacy.”

In a statement to reporters in Dublin on Monday, he emphasized the need to condemn the killing of children, the deaths of civilians in Gaza, and the lack of humanitarian aid.

He added, “You know what I consider reprehensible? Killing children. Seeing the scale of civilian deaths we’ve seen in Gaza, people being left to starve, and humanitarian aid not flowing,” noting that he was extremely proud that Ireland continues to speak out on behalf of innocent Palestinians.
