The Israeli (2R) and Irish (R) flags flutter outside the building housing the offices of the Embassy of Ireland in the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv. Ireland, Norway and Spain said they would formally recognise the State of Palestine on May 28th, drawing praises from Palestinian leaders as well as many countries in the Arab and Muslim world, and fury from Israel.
