Seventy delegates attending an international conference against antisemitism reportedly found themselves without accommodation in Dublin after the Herbert Park Hotel allegedly canceled their bookings. According to Ynet, the hotel rescinded the reservations upon learning the purpose of the stay and inquiring if the event was connected to the IDF. The incident was revealed by Maurice Cohen, president of the Representative Council of Irish Jews, during a reception at the Irish Ministry of Foreign Affairs marking the conference's opening. Cohen stated that the hotel had initially accepted the booking before withdrawing it.
The conference, focused on combating antisemitism in the digital age, is taking place from October 12 to 14 as part of Ireland's presidency of the Council of the European Union. It brings together special envoys and coordinators from the 27 EU member states, alongside representatives from Jewish communities, public officials, tech companies, and civil society organizations. Discussions are centered on cooperation between authorities and Jewish communities, the spread of online antisemitic hate, and the role of new technologies like artificial intelligence.
When contacted by Ynet, a hotel representative reportedly declined to comment on the accusations, stating that the request for a response had been forwarded to the hotel group's management.
