Ireland has appointed Dr. Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid as its first Ambassador of Palestine, marking a significant diplomatic milestone. This step follows the Irish government’s recognition of the State of Palestine last year and the establishment of formal relations on September 29. The upgrade from a diplomatic mission to a resident embassy means that Palestine’s representation in Ireland will now enjoy full diplomatic privileges under the Vienna Convention. The Palestinian delegation’s status has evolved since its inception in 1993, reflecting growing diplomatic ties between the two entities.
