President Michael D Higgins accused the Israeli embassy in Ireland of circulating a letter he wrote congratulating the recently elected Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian .

The Israeli embassy to Ireland described the President’s comments as a “baseless accusation” Mr Higgins said he had “no idea’ how they accessed the private correspondence he wrote to his Iranian counterpart.

“No one has proved any arguments in relation to changing benefits as a deterrence. There’s no evidence for that in Europe , and there isn’t much for it anywhere else either, even in relation to Mexico and the US . I began studying migration in 1968 . It’s a long time ago,” he said..
