Some Israelis see Ireland as simply naive; others think it is anti-Semitic

Netanyahu will not accept a Palestinian state even if means losing Saudi goodwill. But it is not a good time for Israeli diplomacyAs far as most Israelis are concerned, the recognition by Ireland and other European states of a Palestinian state is essentially an exercise in futility. A Palestinian state does not exist so how can you recognise it?

A survey by the Israel Democracy Institute in February found that around two-thirds of Jewish respondents oppose an independent Palestinian state even if it is demilitarised, although a large majority of Israel’s Arab minority support it.

Israeli leaders were told that Riyadh would be willing to normalise ties as part of a package that includes regional security pacts , advanced US weapons systems for the Saudis but with two concessions from Israel: an end to the Gaza war and agreeing to a Palestinian state.
