srael Violated the Sovereignty of 3 Countries"; Saar: "Anti-Semitic Lie Show"
Irish President Michael Higgins said Tuesday that calling the Irish antisemites is "gross slander," during a ceremony to accept the credentials of the Ambassador of the State of Palestine Jilan Abdaljamid. “It is a very serious business to actually brand a people because of the fact they disagree with prime minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu who is in breach of so many bits of international law and has breached the sovereignty of Lebanon, Syria and Egypt and would like to have settlement in each of them." Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar attacked him in response: "The president, in a show of lies, justifies my decision to close the Israeli embassy in the antisemitic country. He is spreading slander about Israel." He added that "Israel was attacked by Hezbollah without any reason. But in his alternate reality, it is Israel that violated its sovereignty."
