The Israeli Lobby in Ireland

This report provides an in-depth analysis of the Israeli lobby's influence in Ireland, examining its historical context, organisational structure, and lobbying strategies. It explores Ireland's longstanding support for Palestinian rights, highlighting the cross-party backing for Palestinian self-determination and criticism of Israeli policies. The report also identifies key pro-Israel organisations in Ireland, such as the Ireland Israel Alliance and Irish Friends of Israel, and their efforts to shape Irish public opinion and foreign policy. While Ireland remains critical of Israel's human rights violations, the Israeli lobby has made notable inroads, particularly through media campaigns and political engagement, although its overall impact is limited compared to other countries.
