Gardaí are investigating a death threat and a package of white powder sent to the Israeli ambassador to Ireland last week.

The arrival of the package by post at the Israeli embassy on March 14th sparked an evacuation of the building by gardaí and the deployment of the army, according to The Irish Times.

The powder was taken away for analysis by soldiers in hazmat suits and found to be sugar.

It was accompanied by a collage of images of the bodies of Israelis who were murdered by Hamas during the October 7th terrorist attacks.

The document featured the logo of Hamas as well as text reading “You are next” pointing to a photograph of the Israeli ambassador to Ireland, Dana Erlich.

Gardaí seized the document for forensic analysis. Ms Erlich said Israeli security services were also investigating.

The embassy, which is located on the top floor of an office building in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4, is protected around the clock by armed and unarmed gardaí.

In a statement, the embassy said it would not be silenced or intimidated.
