The Israeli embassy in Dublin has denied allegations made by Irish president Michael Higgins that the embassy leaked his letter to the Iranian president. The letter, which called for peace and diplomacy in the Middle East, did not mention Iran's role in the region or its support for terrorist organizations.
Embassy rejects allegation, calling it ‘baseless’, ‘highly inflammatory’ and ‘potentially slanderous’Mr Higgins was criticised last month by some politicians for the letter, a copy of which originally circulated on social media.
Asked if he knew how the letter got out, he said: “I do indeed, it was certainly the Israeli embassy.”The Israeli embassy in Dublin responded to the accusation on Sunday night. It said: “This baseless accusation is highly inflammatory and potentially slanderous and the embassy rejects it completely.
“No, I do not. I also have a very definite view that I expressed before in relation to the approach to housing. I think that the approaches so far have been both limited and damaged by the fact that they’re all responses to the market.
