The Israeli Foreign Ministry denounced today Ireland's new Prime Minister Simon Harris for a number of issues, including not mentioning the Israeli captives during a speech to the Irish parliament.

In a statement, the Ministry said that Harris, who was sworn in on April 9, forgot to "mention the 133 Israeli hostages who have been rotting in Hamas tunnels for the past six months."

It expressed fury at Ireland for being anti-genocide and said that it was also "planning to award additional prizes to terrorism" by backing South Africa, which it described as "the legal arm of the Hamas terrorist organization."

It also went ballistic over "the possible recognition of a Palestinian state in the future."

Ireland officially appointed Simon Harris as the country's new Prime Minister on April 9 following the sudden resignation of former Prime Minister Leo Varadkar.

Harris was voted in an uncontested election by the center-right Fine Gael party, a third of the three-party governing coalition. He said in a press conference with his party members that he intends to revitalize the party itself and several core sectors such as farming, business, and law and order. 

Addressing the public, he opted to directly condemn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's genocide in Gaza, saying Ireland is "repulsed" by his actions, and called for an immediate ceasefire.
