Israel is shutting its embassy in Ireland accusing the government of 'anti-Israel' policies. Dublin has strongly opposed the war on Gaza and recognised a Palestinian state. It rejects Israel's accusations and says it stands for human rights and international law. So, what's behind this move and why now?

In this episode:

• Micheal Mac Donncha, Dublin City Councillor, Sinn Fein Party.
• Alon Pinkas, Former Israeli Diplomat and Writer.
• Zoe Lawlor, Chairperson, Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
