Israel Rebukes Ireland's Leader Over Omission of Hamas Hostages in Speech
• Israel criticizes new Irish PM Simon Harris for failing to mention Hamas hostages in first speech, only condemning Israel's actions in Gaza • Israel says Harris "forgot" to mention 133 Israelis being held hostage by Hamas, accuses him of "planning to award additional prizes to terrorism” • Israel says that "after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust”, there are still those in Ireland “persisting on being on the wrong side of history” • Israel vows to continue protecting citizens and bring home the 133 hostages, as well as take down Hamas to prevent further attacks • Tensions high between Israel and Ireland recently, with previous criticism of Israel by ex-PM Varadkar and current Irish government moving towards formal recognition of a Palestinian state
