Far-left independent Catherine Connolly leads Ireland’s presidential race with an 18-point margin, citing controversial remarks on Israel.
Catherine Connolly, a far-left independent candidate with critical views of Israel, leads Ireland’s presidential race with an 18-point margin, according to recent polls.
Her campaign has focused on labeling Israel a “terrorist state” and accusing it of genocide, while hesitating to fully condemn Hamas’s October 7 attack.
Past remarks, including describing Israel as practicing “Jewish supremacy,” have drawn criticism from Jewish leaders and political observers.
Though the presidency is largely ceremonial, her rise has sparked concern over Ireland’s international standing and alignment with Western allies.
The election, set for October 24, 2025, pits Connolly against Fine Gael’s Heather Humphreys.
