The Palestinian flag will be flown over Dublin City Hall in “solidarity with occupied and displaced” Palestinians, to coincide with Israeli Independence Day, councillors have said.
The move was agreed at a Dublin City Council protocol committee meeting, and will be passed to a full council vote on May 8.
The Israeli embassy in Ireland said approving the motion would “defame the good name of the city of Dublin and its citizens”.
A spokesman for the embassy said: “It will in effect raise a white flag of submission to terror organisations, hatred and blackmail.”
