Irish President Michael Higgins stated that the Israeli occupation has violated many provisions of international law and breached the sovereignty of three countries: #Lebanon, #Syria, emphasizing that Benjamin #Netanyahu seeks to establish settlements in #Egypt.

Higgins condemned Israel’s labeling of #Dublin as “antisemitic” after it announced its support for the #Palestinian people, stressing that it is dangerous to label a state as such merely for disagreeing with the #Israeli Prime Minister.

The comment came after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar branded Higgins an antisemite amid the ministry’s decision to close the Israeli embassy in Dublin.
