The City Council of Belfast in Northern Ireland has passed a motion calling on the governments of the United Kingdom and Ireland to expel Israel’s ambassadors to those countries, JTA reported on Friday.
In addition to the vote in Belfast, the capital of the British region of Northern Ireland, pro-Palestinian Arab students and activists staged a sit-in protest on Thursday in front of the Foreign Ministry of Ireland in Dublin. They blocked the entrance for hours, waving signs urging Ireland to expel the Israeli ambassador.
The motion calls on the municipality to urge Ireland and the U.K. “to expel from office Israeli ambassadors, with immediate effect.”
