The Mission of the State of Palestine in Ireland has criticised the “non-transparent” organisation of an event at Trinity College Dublin which saw its ambassador appear alongside the Ambassador to Israel. In a statement after the event the Palestinian Mission said the invitation issued to Palestinian Ambassador Dr Wahba Abdalmajid did not say she would be appearing alongside others. A press release issued after the event by Sonar Diplomacy, “did not mention that the presence of the Palestinian Ambassador was secured in a non-transparent manner”, the Mission statement continues. Sonar said their president will respond to the Palestinian Ambassador with “apologies and explanations”. “Her Excellency Ambassador Wahba and His Excellency Ambassador Kariv both had a fair and equal platform to express their views individually on an Ambassador’s contribution to a conflict happening abroad, namely the Israel-Palestine conflict.
