Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar slammed Irish president Mike Higgins for the second time in days, after the Irish leader falsely accused Israel of planning to usurp land from Egypt and establish settlements.

The exchange came as tensions between Israel and Ireland continue to worsen, with Sa’ar recently closing the Jewish State’s embassy in Dublin due to the country’s “extreme anti-Israel” stance.

Sa’ar said that Higgins and others in the Irish government are “encouraging antisemitism” via the “delegitimization and dehumanization of Israel.”
