Irish president criticized for linking Holocaust and Gaza conflict

Irish President Michael Higgins is facing criticism for his speech at a commemoration event for International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Sunday, which included the war in Gaza. Critics accuse him of misusing the Holocaust memorial for his own political purposes. Some people in the audience turned their backs on the president and were escorted out of the hall.

Irský prezident Michael Higgins čelí kritice kvůli svému nedělnímu projevu na vzpomínkové akci k Mezinárodnímu dnu památky obětí holokaustu. Do toho totiž zahrnul i válku v Gaze. Kritikové mu vyčítají, že památku obětí holokaustu zneužil pro vlastní politické účely. Někteří lidé v sálu se k prezidentovi otočili zády, načež byli ze sálu vyvedeni.
