The Israeli Defence Minister has called on his country to close its Dublin embassy, according to the Irish Times.
Avigdor Lieberman's calls come after the Seanad voted in favour of banning the importation of products from Israeli settlements.
Should the Control of Economic Activity Bill be passed into law, it would make Ireland the first EU nation to enforce a boycott.
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has criticised the Seanad vote, saying it "hurts the chances of dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians" which "will have a negative impact on the diplomatic process in the Middle East."
