Ireland and Israel
Ireland scores 12/100 toward Israel (aggressive rhetoric, bans), while Israel scores 30/100 back.
Ireland toward Israel
Ireland is actively pressing for EU-wide bans on Israeli settlement trade, calling for stronger international action against Israel, and refusing Israeli products even for its own state aircraft. These represent sustained diplomatic pressure and trade restrictions.
Israel toward Ireland
Israeli media (Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel) frames Ireland's stance critically, portraying it as misguided or harmful. No cooperative gestures from Israel toward Ireland are evident; the tone is defensive and critical.
