Israel Summons Irish Ambassador over Palestinian Envoy Upgrade
(Irish Times) Mark Weiss and Mary Fitzgerald - The Irish Ambassador to Israel, Breifne O'Reilly, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem Wednesday to hear Israeli displeasure over Dublin's move to upgrade the status of the Palestinian delegation to Ireland to a mission. Israel's ambassador to Dublin, Boaz Modai, also visited Ireland's Department of Foreign Affairs to express the Israeli view that the diplomatic upgrade announced Tuesday will only hinder Middle East peace efforts.
