The Embassy of Israel in Dublin is the diplomatic mission of Israel in the Republic of Ireland.[1][2]
History
[edit]In 1963, Ireland extended de jure recognition to Israel in 1963, and both countries established diplomatic relations in 1975.In 1981, however, Ireland condemned Israel's attack on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor. Ireland did not allow an Israeli embassy to open until 20 December 1993.[3]
Zvi Gabay was the first resident Israeli ambassador in Ireland.[4]
In December 2024, Israel announced that its embassy in Ireland would close, citing the governments support for Hamas during the ongoing Israel–Hamas war as the main reason.[5][6]
