Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister
- Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.
- A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.
- Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.
- While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

irishtimes.com/politics/2024/03/27/ireland-to-intervene-in-south-africas-case-against-israel-over-gaza-invasion/
Quick Glance: Ireland's Involvement in South Africa's Case Against Israel Regarding Gaza Invasion
- The government of Ireland is planning to engage in the case initiated by South Africa against Israel under the Genocide Convention at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
- With the aim of prioritizing the protection of civilians in the interpretation of the convention, Ireland intends to submit a Declaration of Intervention under Article 63 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice.
- After a thorough analysis and consultation, the government has decided to intervene in the case, condemning the violation of international law due to the events in Israel and Gaza.
- The filing of the declaration will occur post-government approval and after South Africa has submitted its memorial. Ireland will collaborate with other partners to intervene.
