Is Ireland the Most Hostile EU Country to Israel?
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Jessica Elgot - The Israeli website Ynet reported that Ireland had become the most hostile country to Israel in the EU, "pushing all of Europe's countries to a radical and uncompromising approach." Yet a spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in Dublin said, "The problem is a very vocal, small minority. They have some sympathy in the media and parliament which exaggerates their influence." "The present Irish administration has actually had a more positive relationship than the last one; the current foreign minister, Eamon Gilmore, is very fair and impartial, more so than has been the case in the past."
