Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar has announced the closure of the country’s embassy in Ireland on Sunday, citing “extreme anti-Israel policies.”

Amid mounting international criticism of its military conduct in Gaza, Israel says it will deepen ties with countries it considers friendly toward it.

Israel said Sunday it would close its embassy in Dublin over the Irish government's "extreme anti-Israel policies."

Israel says it will close its embassy in Ireland in the coming weeks over the Irish government's "extreme anti-Israel policies." Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar made the announcement on Sunday after recalling Israel's ambassador to Ireland from Dublin.

Israel will close its embassy in Dublin in light of "the extreme anti-Israel policies of the Irish government," Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said.

Israel recalled its ambassador after Ireland’s decision on a Palestinian state in May, and was further angered last week when Dublin backed South Africa's case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing Israel of genocide.
