Sa'ar said in late December that he planned to open an embassy in the country as a response to the embassy they had closed in Ireland.
Local media claimed that the decision resulted in outrage among Kenyan pro-Palestinian activists and Daystar students.
This solidarity with the Palestinians has become a central driver of Ireland’s policies toward Israel, leading to the adoption of one-sided stances against the Jewish state.
"Ireland is one of the most anti-Zionist countries in the Western world," Ireland's Chief Rabbi Yoni Wieder told 'The Jerusalem Post.'
I believe that the major benefit of the closure is to be found in demonstrative headlines and that the loss to Israel will prove greater than the gain.
The Foreign Ministry also announced that Israel will be opening a new embassy in Moldova.
Movers and shakers in Israeli society.
Police called on residents to stay in their homes as security personnel conducted a search for the culprits, a security source said.
Banners with “Ceasefire now” and “Jews 4 Free Palestine” can be seen in a video of the incident.
There were no subsequent reports of anyone wounded from the incident. However, the report noted, at the time, that the intruder had not been found.
