Israel to Close its Embassy in Ireland

Relations between Ireland and Israel over Palestine and Gaza reached an all-time low that Tel Aviv announced, Sunday, it will close down its Embassy in Dublin.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Israel is closing its embassy in Ireland in light of what he calls “the extreme anti-Israel policies pursued by the Irish government.”

Sa’ar implied the Israeli decision was expected because a few months ago Israel recalled its ambassador to Dublin Dana Erlich after Ireland’s unilateral decision to recognize a Palestinian state.

 Recently Ireland announced its support for South Africa’s legal action in the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of committing genocide.

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris said Israel’s decision to close its embassy in Dublin was “deeply regrettable.”

On 28 May, Ireland announced its official recognition of the Palestinian state, and the Dublin government agreed to establish full diplomatic relations, in defiance of Israel, which denounced the plan.

As well last November, Harris said that Dublin would be prepared to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he set foot in Ireland following an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court.

The diplomatic row has been escalating between the two countries but Ireland has not recalled its ambassador from Tel Aviv.

Syria on Deluge For Arab ‘Regime Change’

In less than a week, the Bashar al-Assad regime and that of this family fell, an era that lasted for more than half a century came to an end.

There is no room here to talk about that era, but the end was expected for a long time, as dictatorial regimes or family-based dynasties must end, just as happened to Hosni Mubarak, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, Ali Abdullah Saleh and others.

Hours before the fall of Al Assad, I called on Arab rulers to reconcile with their people before the flood comes rushing through. And now the flood has begun to rage from Damascus, and I believe, it will not stop.

It will inevitably sweep away other rulers of this era who accepted humiliation, disgrace, betrayal and throwing themselves into the arms of Tel Aviv, Washington and other capitals of crime.

What happened recently in Syria will be a prelude to the other Arab peoples. I feel very optimistic, and I believe we are facing radical changes that will affect the Arab world, and I do not know who will be the next ruler to be swept away by this deluge?

Thanks to the Al-Aqsa flood that exposed, revealed and disgraced many of the treasonous and collaborating regimes in our Arab world.

This flood will be followed by a flood of another kind, which will sweep away with it every slacker, and everyone who betrayed and conspired against Palestine, its resistance and its people, and threw himself into the arms of the criminal West, and ignored what is happening in Gaza, which will be, God willing, the main reason for uprooting many of the apostate Zionist regimes.

The majority of the Arab peoples are now yearning for change, and even salvation from injustice and oppression, and I do not believe that the Arab situation will continue in this way, and the Syrian situation will constitute an important factor for the peoples to pounce and revolt against rulers who are certainly not of the Arab caliber, and I am certain that this will not last long.

Many of the Arab rulers are feeling their heads today, and perhaps they are working on reconsidering their calculations if they can, and they realize that when the people have their say, the end of the regime will be inevitable.

So will these people learn from what happened recently in Damascus? The wise man is is the one who learns from others. Who will be the next ruler who will follow Mr. Al Assad?

Whoever has the answer, let him tell us, and he will have a great prize presented by the poor servant who wrote this article, which is a kiss on his forehead, and kisses on the foreheads of all the free revolutionaries of the nation, and at the forefront of the heroic revolutionaries of Gaza.

Talks Under The Gun

Optimistic reports of advancements in negotiations between Israel and Hamas, with Egypt, Qatar, and US mediation, over a ceasefire deal has been reported as Hamas sent Egypt the names of those Israeli prisoners destined to be released during the first phase.

This coincides with intensive Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip. In the past 12 hours, Israel killed three people as a result of an airstrike near Halabi Junction in Jabalia Al-Balad, northern Gaza Strip. Israeli quadcopters also fired heavily at citizens attempting to reach their homes in the Safatwi area, west of Jabalia.

Moroccans Protest For Gaza Outside Parliament in Rabat

Moroccans protested in Rabat in front of the parliament building, Friday, to condemn the Israeli genocide on the Gaza Strip ongoing now for 14 months.

The “Working Group for Palestine”, a non-governmental group, organized the protest to condemn the Israeli genocide in Gaza and in which dozens of participants carried pictures of Al-Aqsa and the Palestinian flag.

The protesters in front of the parliament building also condemned “Israel’s continued defiance of all international resolutions, including the International Criminal Court’s decision” regarding the arrest of the Israeli Prime Minister and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant,” according to Anadolu.

Israel continues its massacres, ignoring two arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court on 21 November against Netanyahu and ex-Defense Minister Galant, on charges of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in Gaza.

The protesters chanted slogans praising the Palestinian resistance, and others criticizing the continued Western support for Tel Aviv despite the genocide that has been ongoing for more than a year.

Among these slogans were “Long live the resistance… long live Palestine”, “We are all ready to sacrifice for steadfast Palestine”, “From Rabat to Gaza… resistance and pride”, and “Loyalty… to the blood of the martyrs”.

The participants raised banners reading “the Moroccan people demand the dissolution and cancellation of the seductive Israeli parliamentary group”, and “Normalization is a crime and treason”.

With American support, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza since 7 October, 2023, leaving more than 150,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that has killed dozens of children and elderly people, in one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.

Israel continues its massacres, ignoring the UN Security Council’s decision for their immediate end, and the International Court of Justice’s orders to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza.
