Simon Harris: Ireland gets youngest Premier after openly Gay and Indian-origin PM resigns | Oneindia
Ireland’s governing party Fine Gael has named Simon Harris as its new leader, paving the way for him to succeed former Prime Minister Leo Varadkar as the youngest Taoiseach in Irish history at age 37.
Varadkar announced his surprise resignation on Wednesday, citing “personal and political, but mainly political reasons.” He had made headlines in 2017 when aged 38 he became the youngest prime minister in Irish history at that time.
Israel announced on Sunday it would shut its mission in the Irish capital because of what Israel's Foreign Minister called 'extreme anti-Israel policies.'
