The Embassy of Israel in Dublin is the diplomatic mission of Israel in Ireland.
History
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.
Zvi Gabay was the first resident Israeli ambassador in Ireland.
In December 2024, Israel announced that its embassy in Ireland would close owing to what the Israeli foreign minister Gideon Sa'ar described as Irish "demonisation of the Jewish state" during the Israel–Hamas war. Ireland's Taoiseach, Simon Harris, responded to the announcement, saying "Ireland’s foreign policy is founded on our deep commitment to dialogue and to the peaceful resolution of disputes." He added, "I utterly reject the assertion that Ireland is anti-Israel. Ireland is pro-peace, pro-human rights and pro-international law." The Tánaiste, Micheál Martin said, "The continuation of the war in Gaza and the loss of innocent lives is simply unacceptable and contravenes international law. It represents the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza."
