Israel's recent decision to close its embassy in Ireland underscores a significant shift in its diplomatic strategy as the nation faces widespread international condemnation for its military actions in Gaza. This move comes shortly after Ireland announced plans to support South Africa's genocide claim against Israel at the International Court of Justice, a charge Israel firmly denies. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, who was appointed last month, has indicated a robust diplomatic approach aimed at strengthening ties with countries perceived as supportive. While Israeli officials emphasize that this closure doesn't equate to a severance of diplomatic relations with Ireland, it reflects an intent to reassess and prioritize international partnerships based on nations' attitudes towards Israel. Saar also noted the opening of a new embassy in Moldova as part of this strategy, illustrating Israel's commitment to fostering relationships with nations aligned with its interests.
