Ireland's Deputy Premier Micheál Martin has criticized Israel for its treatment of the Irish ambassador in Jerusalem. The controversy arose after the ambassador was shown footage from October 7, which led to a rebuke from Israeli authorities. Martin described the treatment as 'totally unacceptable' and 'outside the norm by which diplomats are treated in any country.' In response, Israel announced it would review the operation of Irish NGOs in Palestine. The incident has further strained relations between the two countries, with Ireland condemning the Israeli actions as 'inappropriate and wrong.'
