The issue is coming to a vote after in June 2024, a proposal was submitted to rename the park in honor of Hind Rajab, a five-year-old girl “killed by the Israeli Occupying Forces<\/a> (IOF) on January 29th, 2024, along with six of her relatives,” according to the motion.<\/p>\n People Before Profit councillor, Conor Reddy, in January 2025, mentioned that over 2,700 people supported renaming Herzog Park as “Hind Rajab Park.” <\/p>\n In light of regulations instated in 2017, mandating the park be renamed after someone who had died less than 20 years previously or born over 100 years ago, Rajab’s name is not a contender. However, other names which have reportedly been suggested include: “Free Palestine Park,” “Gaza Park” or “Palestine Park.” <\/p>\n The office of President Isaac Herzog responded to the reports on the proposed removal, saying that the move would be a “shameful and disgraceful” one.<\/p>\n Israel’s President Isaac Herzog speaking in Jerusalem, in March.

It stands beside the only Jewish school in the country. The name of the park is not an abstract tribute. It reflects a real and meaningful Irish story,” the council said. <\/p>\n Calling on the Dublin City Council to reject the motion, the Jewish representatives wrote that the removal of Herzog’s name “would be widely understood as an attempt to erase our Irish Jewish history.”<\/p>\n In response to the motion, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar described Dublin as “the capital of antisemitism,” adding that despite the decision to remove the name, “What cannot be removed is the disgrace of the Irish antisemitic and anti-Israel obsession.”<\/p>\n “There is no decision more accurate and just than my decision <\/a>to close our embassy in Dublin,” the foreign minister added. <\/p>\n There is no decision more accurate and just than my decision to close our embassy in Dublin, shortly after I took office as Foreign Minister.![\"Israel's](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/217897.jpg\" "\\"Israel's")
