Ireland May Turn Closed Israeli Embassy Into a Palestine Museum 

Ireland is considering transforming the former Israeli Embassy in Dublin into a Palestinian museum.

Faisel Saleh, a Palestinian-American businessman and founder of the Palestine Museum in the United States, expressed interest in transforming the former Israeli embassy in Dublin into a Palestinian museum, calling it “a political statement.”

The idea of the Palestinian museum is trending on social media. The move comes within days after Israel decided to close its embassy in Ireland after what it called  rising anti-semitism in the Irish country.

“The decision to close Israel’s embassy in Dublin was made in light of the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government,” Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said in a statement last week.

The tension between Israel and Ireland came to the fore when the latter on 28 May, 2024 made a decision to formally recognize the state of Palestine.
