Irish ambassador subjected to ‘unacceptable’ treatment by Israel, Tánaiste says.

He made the remarks after Ambassador Sonya McGuinness was summoned to the Israeli foreign affairs ministry and reprimanded over Ireland’s decision to recognise the State of Palestine.

As proceedings started, Ms McGuinness was shown footage of Hamas that Israel claimed was filmed on October 7th. Israeli media outlets were also filming the meeting, Mr Martin said.

Speaking on Friday, Mr Martin said: “I find that totally unacceptable and no way to treat diplomats, and is outside the norm by which diplomats are treated in any country.”

He added: “Most people would accept internationally that that’s not within the parameters of acceptable norms in terms of how people engage with diplomats.
