Ireland–Palestine relations are the bilateral and historical relations between the Republic of Ireland and the State of Palestine. In 2000, Ireland established a representative office in Ramallah and Palestine has an office in Dublin. are both countries are members of the Union for the Mediterranean.

History

By the late 1960s, Ireland was increasingly concerned about the fate of Palestinian refugees who fled the Six Day War in 1967. In 1969, Irish Foreign Minister Frank Aiken described the problem as the "main and most pressing objective" of Ireland's Middle East policy.

In 1980, Ireland was the first European Union member state to endorse the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Despite strong support for Palestine in Ireland, the government is yet to implement a 2014 decision to formalise diplomatic relations between the two, but Foreign Minister Simon Coveney has indicated this could soon change

In January 2011, Ireland accorded the Palestinian delegation in Dublin diplomatic status. A few months later, their Foreign Affairs Minister stated that Ireland would "lead the charge" in recognizing Palestinian statehood, but that it would not come until the PNA was in full and sole control over its territories. In October 2014, the Upper House of the Irish Parliament unanimously passed a motion calling on the Government to recognize the State of Palestine. In December 2014, the Lower House of Ireland's Parliament followed suit.
