Ireland’s ambassador in Tel Aviv has met with a senior official in the Israeli foreign ministry after the Irish premier was accused of legitimising terror in a statement about the release of a Hamas hostage, a move described by Dublin as an “overreaction”.
It comes after Israel took issue with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar saying “an innocent child who was lost has now been found” after Hamas released nine-year-old Irish-Israeli hostage Emily Hand.
